Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Psalms 50:19
Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
19. Thou hast let loose thy mouth for evil,
And thy tongue contriveth deceit.
Giving way to unbridled speech, evil in substance and mischievous in aim: contriving a whole structure of deliberate falsehoods.

Thou givest thy mouth to evil – Margin, as in Hebrew, thou sendest. That is, they gave it up to evil; they employed it in evil: in falsehood, malice, deceit, slander, deception, detraction.
And thy tongue frameth deceit – The word rendered frameth means properly to bind, to fasten; and then, to contrive, to frame. The meaning is, that it was employed in the work of deceit; that is, it was employed in devising and executing purposes of fraud and falsehood.

Thou givest, Heb. thou sendest forth, to wit, free; for the word is used of mens dismissing their wives or their servants, whom they left to their freedom. Thou hast an unbridled tongue, and castest off all restraints of Gods law, and of thy own conscience, and givest thy tongue liberty to speak what thou pleasest, though it be offensive and dishonourable to God, and injurious to thy neighbour, or to thy own soul; which is justly produced as an evidence of their hypocrisy.
To evil; either to sinful or mischievous speeches.
Frameth deceit, i.e. uttereth lies or fair words, wherewith to circumvent those who deal with them.

Thou givest thy mouth to evil,…. To speak evil things against Christ, his doctrines, ordinances, ministers and people; and to deliver out evil doctrines, pernicious to the souls of men;
and thy tongue frameth deceit; puts and joins together deceitful words in a very artful manner, by which simple and unstable minds are beguiled.
