Commentary on Psalms 50:22

Theological / Devotional

Now consider this. Verses 22, 23 are the conclusion to the poem, repeating succinctly the lesson of vs. 7–21. God speaks, stating that He requires man’s heart and mind as the only acceptable sacrifice. Here is warning for the wicked and encouragement for the godly.

Forget God. Though professedly engaged in God’s worship.

None to deliver. There will come a time when even the Redeemer will cease to shield the sinner, and he will reap what he has sown (see Isa. 13:9; Zeph. 1:14–18; Rev. 6:15–17; 20:9).
