Psalms
Psalm 50:16a "But to the wicked God says..."
Day 105 – Psalm 50
“But to the wicked God says…” Psalm 50:16a
THE FIRST DEFENDANT
Who were “the first defendant”? A careful reading of Psalm 50:7-13 would suggest that God was addressing “The Ignorant”. They did not seem to understand what God was looking for in worship. They continued their worship of God in seeming ignorance. They had to be corrected directly.
ANOTHER DEFENDANT
God now makes direct reference to another major defendant- “The wicked”.
“But to the wicked God says:
‘What right have you to declare My statutes,
Or take My covenant in your mouth.'”
Psalm 50:16
