Psalm 50:16-23

1.But to the wicked man
God saith, How dost thou dare
My cov'nant to take in thy mouth,
or my just laws declare?
Since thou instruction hat'st,
which should thy ways direct;
And since my words behind thy back
thou cast'st, and dost reject.

2.When thou a thief didst see,
with him thou didst consent;
And with the vile adulterers
partaker on thou went.
Thou giv'st thy mouth to ill,
thy tongue deceit doth frame;
Thou sitt'st, and 'gainst thy brother speak'st,
thy mother's son dost shame.

3.Because I silence kept,
while thou these things hast wrought;
That I was altogether like
thyself, hath been thy thought;
Yet I will thee reprove,
and set before thine eyes
Thy sins in order ranked, that all
thy hidden guilt arise.

4.Now, ye that God forget,
consider what you do;
Lest I in pieces tear you all,
and none deliver you.
Whoso doth offer praise
me glorifies; and so
To him that orders right his way
salvation I will show.
