Psalm 50:21-23

21 You have done these things, and I kept silent;
you thought I was just like you.(A)
But I will rebuke you
and lay out the case before you.[a](B)
22 “Understand this, you who forget God,
or I will tear you apart,
and there will be no one to rescue you.(C)

I will show him the salvation of God.”(D)

King James Version
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.
22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
