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 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.

18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.

19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.

20 Thou sittest [and] speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thy own mother's son.

21 These [things] hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether [such an one] as thyself: [but] I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine eyes.
