Psalms 50:19-21
Psalms 50:19-21 New Living Translation (NLT)
Your mouth is filled with wickedness, and your tongue is full of lies. You sit around and slander your brother— your own mother’s son. While you did all this, I remained silent, and you thought I didn’t care. But now I will rebuke you, listing all my charges against you.
Psalms 50:16-21 The Message (MSG)
Next, God calls up the wicked: “What are you up to, quoting my laws, talking like we are good friends? You never answer the door when I call; you treat my words like garbage. If you find a thief, you make him your buddy; adulterers are your friends of choice. Your mouth drools filth; lying is a serious art form with you. You stab your own brother in the back, rip off your little sister. I kept a quiet patience while you did these things; you thought I went along with your game. I’m calling you on the carpet, now, laying your wickedness out in plain sight.
Psalms 50:19-21 King James Version (KJV)
Thou givest thy mouth to evil, And thy tongue frameth deceit. Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; Thou slanderest thine own mother's son. These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: But I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
Psalms 50:19-21 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)

Psalms 50:19-21 New Century Version (NCV)
You don’t stop your mouth from speaking evil, and your tongue makes up lies. You speak against your brother and lie about your mother’s son. I have kept quiet while you did these things, so you thought I was just like you. But I will scold you and accuse you to your face.
Psalms 50:19-21 American Standard Version (ASV)
