Psalms 50:17 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 50:17

Seeing thou hatest instruction
Or "correction" F26; to be reproved or reformed by the statutes and covenant they declared to others; they taught others, but not themselves, ( Romans 2:21-23 ) ; or evangelical instruction, the doctrines of grace, and of Christ; for, as concerning the Gospel, they were enemies, ( Romans 11:28 ) ; and since they were haters of that, they ought not to have been teachers of others;

and castest my words behind thee;
the doctrines of the Gospel, which they despised and rejected with the utmost abhorrence, as loathsome, and not fit to be looked upon and into; and also the ordinances of it, the counsel of God, which they rejected against themselves, ( Acts 13:45 Acts 13:46 ) ( Luke 7:30 ) .

Psalms 50:17 In-Context

15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.”
16 To the wicked, however, God says, “What right have you to recite My statutes and to bear My covenant on your lips?
17 For you hate My instruction and cast My words behind you.
18 When you see a thief, you befriend him, and throw in your lot with adulterers.
19 You unleash your mouth for evil and harness your tongue to deceit.
