Psalms 50:15–19 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

19 You unleash your mouth for evil and unharness your tongue for deceit.
