Psalm 50:16-23

New American Standard Bible

¹⁶ But to the wicked God says,
“What right do you have to tell of My statutes
And to take ^(A)My covenant in your mouth?
¹⁷ For you yourself ^(B)hate discipline,
And you ^(C)throw My words behind you.
¹⁸ When you see a thief, you ^(D)become friends with him,
And ^[a]you ^(E)associate with adulterers.
¹⁹ You ^[b](F)let your mouth loose in evil,
And your ^(G)tongue harnesses deceit.
²⁰ You sit and ^(H)speak against your brother;
You slander your own mother’s son.
²¹ These things you have done and ^(I)I kept silent;
You thought that I was just like you;
I will ^(J)rebuke you and present the case before your eyes.

²² “Now consider this, you who ^(K)forget God,
Or I will ^(L)tear you in pieces, and there will be no one to save you.
²³ He who ^(M)offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me;
And to him who ^(N)sets his way properly
I will ^(O)show the salvation of God.”
