Psalms 50:19

19 You use your mouth to speak evil. You use your tongue to spread lies.

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 hate my teaching. You turn your back on what I say.
18 When you see a thief, you join him. You make friends with those who commit adultery.
19 You use your mouth to speak evil. You use your tongue to spread lies.
20 You always speak against your brother. You always tell lies about your own mother's son.
21 You have done those things, and I kept silent. So you thought I was just like you. But now I'm going to correct you. I will bring charges against you.
