Psalms - ch 48 v 1 - 20
- Unto the end, a psalm for the sons of Core.
- Hear these things, all ye nations: give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world.
- All you that are earthborn, and you sons of men: both rich and poor together.
- My mouth shall speak wisdom: and the meditation of my heart understanding.
- I will incline my ear to a parable; I will open my proposition on the psaltery.
- Why shall I fear in the evil day? the iniquity of my heel shall encompass me.
- They that trust in their own strength, and glory in the multitude of their riches,
- No brother can redeem, nor shall man redeem: he shall not give to God his ransom,
- Nor the price of the redemption of his soul: and shall labour for ever,
- and shall still live unto the end.
- He shall not see destruction, when he shall see the wise dying: the senseless and the fool shall perish together: And they shall leave their riches to strangers:
- and their sepulchres shall be their houses for ever. Their dwelling places to all generations: they have called their lands by their names.
- And man when he was in honour did not understand; he is compared to senseless beasts, and is become like to them.
- This way of theirs is a stumblingblock to them: and afterwards they shall delight in their mouth.
- They are laid in hell like sheep: death shall feed upon them. And the just shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their help shall decay in hell from their glory.
- But God will redeem my soul from the hand of hell, when he shall receive me.
- Be not thou afraid, when a man shall be made rich, and when the glory of his house shall be increased.
- For when he shall die he shall take nothing away; nor shall his glory descend with him.
- For in his lifetime his soul will be blessed: and he will praise thee when thou shalt do well to him.
- He shall go in to the generations of his fathers: and he shall never see light.
