Psalms 50:19 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 50:19

Thou givest thy mouth to evil
To speak evil things against Christ, his doctrines, ordinances, ministers and people; and to deliver out evil doctrines, pernicious to the souls of men;

and thy tongue frameth deceit;
puts and joins together deceitful words in a very artful manner, by which simple and unstable minds are beguiled.

Psalms 50:19 In-Context

17 while you yourself hate discipline, and cast my words behind you?

18 When you see a thief, then you are pleased with him, and your association [is] with adulterers.

19 You give your mouth free rein for evil, and you harness your tongue to deceit.

20 You sit and speak against your brother; you slander your mother's son.

21 These [things] you have done, and I have been silent; You imagined that I was just like you. I will rebuke you and present [an argument] before your eyes.
