Prayer based on Psalms 50:16. Themes: Judgment, Hypocrisy, Covenant

Dear God, please forgive me for any times I have declared your statutes without truly living by them. Help me to always remember that it is not my right to speak of your covenant if I am not following it myself. Guide me to live a life that is pleasing to you and to always speak truthfully of your word. Amen.

Verse: But to the wicked God says,“What right do you have to declare my statutes, that you have taken my covenant on your lips,
Psalms 50:16

This is a Command. The verse is a rebuke to the wicked, telling them they have no right to declare God’s statutes or take His covenant on their lips.
