Salmos 50:22

22 Considerai pois isto, vós que vos esqueceis de Deus, para que eu não vos despedace, sem que haja quem vos livre.

Salmos 50:22 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 50:22

Now consider this
The evils that had been committed, and repent of them; for repentance is an after thought and reconsideration of sin, and humiliation for it; that the Lord, was not like them, not an approver of sin, but a reprover for it; and what would be their latter end, what all this would issue in, in case of impenitence;

ye that forget God;
that there is a God, his being, perfections, word, works, and benefits;

lest I tear [you] in pieces;
as a lion, leopard, or bear; see ( Hosea 13:7 Hosea 13:8 ) ; which was accomplished in the destruction of Jerusalem; when both their civil and ecclesiastical state were torn in pieces; their city and temple levelled with the ground, and not one stone left upon another; and they scattered about in the earth;

and [there be] none to deliver;
which denotes their utter and irreparable ruin, till the time comes they shall turn to the Lord; see ( Isaiah 42:22 ) .

Salmos 50:22 In-Context

20 Tu te sentas a falar contra teu irmão; difamas o filho de tua mãe.
21 Estas coisas tens feito, e eu me calei; pensavas que na verdade eu era como tu; mas eu te argüirei, e tudo te porei � vista.
22 Considerai pois isto, vós que vos esqueceis de Deus, para que eu não vos despedace, sem que haja quem vos livre.
23 Aquele que oferece por sacrifício ações de graças me glorifica; e �quele que bem ordena o seu caminho eu mostrarei a salvação de Deus.
