WHAT THE LORD WANTS
                                      Psalm 50:14-23
 

What I want from you is your true thanks; I want your promises fulfilled. I want you to trust me in your times of trouble, so I can rescue you and you can give me glory.

But God says to evil men: Recite my laws no longer and stop claiming my promises, for you have refused my discipline, disregarding my laws.

You see a thief and help him, and spend your time with evil and
immoral men.

You curse and lie, and vile language streams from your mouths.

You slander your own brother.

I remained silent­you thought I didn't care­but now your time of
punishment has come, and I list all the above charges against you.

This is the last chance for all of you who have forgotten God,
before I tear you apart­and no one can help you then.

But true praise is a worthy sacrifice; this really honors me.
Those who walk my paths will receive salvation from the Lord.
