Psalm 50:16-23

New International Version

“What right have you to recite my laws
    or take my covenant^(A) on your lips?^(B)
17 You hate^(C) my instruction
    and cast my words behind^(D) you.
¹⁸ When you see a thief, you join^(E) with him;
    you throw in your lot with adulterers.^(F)
19 You use your mouth for evil
    and harness your tongue to deceit.^(G)
20 You sit and testify against your brother^(H)
    and slander your own mother’s son.
²¹ When you did these things and I kept silent,^(I)
    you thought I was exactly^[a] like you.
But I now arraign^(J) you
    and set my accusations^(K) before you.

²² “Consider this, you who forget God,^(L)
    or I will tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:^(M)
23 Those who sacrifice thank offerings honor me,
    and to the blameless^[b] I will show my salvation.^(N)”
