Texts -- Psalms 50:12-23 (NET)

Context
50:12 Even if I were hungry , I would not tell you, for the world and all it contains belong to me. 50:13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls ? Do I drink the blood of goats ? 50:14 Present to God a thank-offering ! Repay your vows to the sovereign One ! 50:15 Pray to me when you are in trouble ! I will deliver you, and you will honor me!” 50:16 God says this to the evildoer : “How can you declare my commands , and talk about my covenant ? 50:17 For you hate instruction and reject my words . 50:18 When you see a thief , you join him; you associate with men who are unfaithful to their wives . 50:19 You do damage with words , and use your tongue to deceive . 50:20 You plot against your brother ; you slander your own brother . 50:21 When you did these things, I was silent , so you thought I was exactly like you. But now I will condemn you and state my case against you! 50:22 Carefully consider this , you who reject God ! Otherwise I will rip you to shreds and no one will be able to rescue you. 50:23 Whoever presents a thank-offering honors me. To whoever obeys my commands , I will reveal my power to deliver .”
