Psalms 50:14–18 · Berean Standard Bible

14 Sacrifice a thank offering to God, and fulfill your vows to the Most High.

15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.”

16 To the wicked, however, God says, “What right have you to recite My statutes and to bear My covenant on your lips?

17 For you hate My instruction and cast My words behind you.

18 When you see a thief, you befriend him, and throw in your lot with adulterers.
