Psalm 50:15-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 Call on me in the day of trouble;
I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.”(A)
16 But to the wicked God says,
“What right have you to recite my statutes
or take my covenant on your lips?(B)
17 For you hate discipline,
and you cast my words behind you.(C)
18 You make friends with a thief when you see one,
and you keep company with adulterers.(D)
19 You give your mouth free rein for evil,
and your tongue frames deceit.
20 You sit and speak against your kin;
you slander your own mother’s child.(E)
21 These things you have done, and I have been silent;
you thought that I was one just like yourself.
But now I rebuke you and lay the charge before you.(F)

17 You hate(G) my instruction
and cast my words behind(H) you.
18 When you see a thief, you join(I) with him;
you throw in your lot with adulterers.(J)
19 You use your mouth for evil
and harness your tongue to deceit.(K)
20 You sit and testify against your brother(L)
and slander your own mother’s son.
21 When you did these things and I kept silent,(M)
you thought I was exactly[a] like you.
But I now arraign(N) you
and set my accusations(O) before you.

15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and casteth my words behind thee.
18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
