But to the wicked God says; Why do you recite my statutes and take my covenant upon your lips, since you refuse my discipline and toss my words behind your back? Psalm 50:16, 17

“There is a voice of rebellion deep in the heart of the wicked, there is no fear of God before his eyes, he flatters himself in his own eyes, so that his hateful sins will not be found out; but the Lord watches over all, there is nothing hidden from his eyes.” Lord, continue your loving-kindness to those who know you, and fear you, and keep your covenants, those who accept your discipline, and your favor to those who are true at heart. Let not those who look to you be put to shame, and do not totally cast out those rebel against you because of their many transgressions, but be merciful.  Thank you Lord!
