Psalm 50:22
“Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 50Meaning
Those who forget God are told to consider seriously lest divine judgment overtake them; the severe tearing image belongs to God’s judgment and never authorizes people to threaten or attack others.
Remember God, give thanks, and walk rightly
Psalm 50 is a covenant-liturgy and wisdom-like judgment psalm in which God summons heaven and earth, rejects any idea that sacrifice feeds or obligates him, calls for thanksgiving and trust, and exposes the contradiction between reciting covenant words and practicing theft, sexual betrayal, deceit, and slander.
Read carefully
Those who forget God are told to consider seriously lest divine judgment overtake them; the severe tearing image belongs to God’s judgment and never authorizes people to threaten or attack others.
