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.

18 When you see a thief, you want to make friends with him. You keep company with people who commit adultery.
19 You let your mouth say anything evil. Your tongue plans deceit.
20 You sit and talk against your own brother. You slander your own mother's son.
