But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
 

50:16 unto the wicked. The “wicked” are simply those who “forget God” (Psalm 50:22). They may, at the judgment, seek to offer their works as tantamount to “tak[ing] my covenant” (Psalm 50:16), but no one can be saved by works, and even their “righteousnesses are as filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6), not to mention their many overt sins against God, which will be recounted at the judgment (Revelation 20:13).
