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.

17 (49-17) Seeing thou hast hated discipline: and hast cast my words behind thee.
18 (49-18) If thou didst see a thief thou didst run with him: and with adulterers thou hast been a partaker.
19 (49-19) Thy mouth hath abounded with evil, and thy tongue framed deceits.
20 (49-20) Sitting thou didst speak against thy brother, and didst lay a scandal against thy mother’s son:
21 (49-21) These things hast thou done, and I was silent. Thou thoughtest unjustly that I should be like to thee: but I will reprove thee, and set before thy face.
