Psalms 50:19

19 Your mouth drools filth; lying is a serious art form with you.

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 You never answer the door when I call; you treat my words like garbage.
18 If you find a thief, you make him your buddy; adulterers are your friends of choice.
19 Your mouth drools filth; lying is a serious art form with you.
20 You stab your own brother in the back, rip off your little sister.
21 I kept a quiet patience while you did these things; you thought I went along with your game. I'm calling you on the carpet, now, laying your wickedness out in plain sight.
