PSAL. XLIX.
1 An earnest perswasion to build the faith of
Resurrection, not on worldly power, but on
God. 16 Worldly prosperity is not to be admired.
¶ To the chiefe Musician, a Psalme
note for the sonnes of Korah.
1
Heare this, all yee people,
giue eare all yee inhabitants
of the world:
2
Both low, and high,
rich and poore together.
3
My mouth shall speake of wisedome:
and the meditation of my heart
shalbe of vnderstanding.
4
noteI will incline mine eare to a parable;
I will open my darke saying vpon
the harpe.
5
Wherefore should I feare in the
daies of euill, when the iniquitie of my
heeles shall compasse me about?
6
They that trust in their wealth,
and boast themselues in the multitude
of their riches:
7
None of them can by any meanes
redeeme his brother, nor giue to God a
ransome for him:
8
(For the redemption of their
soule is precious, and it ceaseth for euer.)
9
That he should still liue for euer,
and not see corruption.
10
For he seeth that wise men die, likewise
the foole, and the brutish person perish,
and leaue their wealth to others.
11
Their inward thought is, that their
houses shall continue for euer, and their
dwelling places note to all generations;
they call their lands after their owne
names.
12
Neuerthelesse man being in honour
abideth not: he is like the beastes
that perish.
13
This their way is their follie; yet
their posteritie note approue their sayings.
Selah.
14
Like sheepe they are layd in the
graue, death shall feede on them; and
Gods Maiestie.
the vpright shall haue dominion ouer
them in the morning, and their note beauty
shall consume note in the graue, from their
dwelling.
15
But God will redeeme my soule
note from the power of the note graue; for he
shall receiue me. Selah.
16
Be not thou afraid when one is
made rich, when the glory of his house
is increased.
17
noteFor when he dieth, he shall carry
nothing away: his glory shall not descend
after him.
18
Though note whiles he liued, he blessed
his soule: and men will praise thee,
when thou doest well to thy selfe.
19
noteHee shall goe to the generation
of his fathers, they shall neuer see light.
20
Man that is in honour and vnderstandeth
not, is like the beasts that perish.
