“But, "understand these things, ye that forget God" (ver. 22). See how He crieth, and keepeth not silence, spareth not. Thou hadst forgotten the Lord, didst not think of thy evil life. Perceive how thou hast forgotten the Lord. "Lest at length He seize like a lion, and there be none to deliver." What is "like a lion"?…”
Augustine of Hippo, 5th c. — Exposition on Psalm 50

In context
20Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.
21These 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 50:22 —
23Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
