2
Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
3
My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart
shall be
of understanding.
4
I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
5
Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil,
when
the iniquity of my heels shall compass
me about?
6
They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
7
None
of them
can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
8
(For the redemption of their soul
is
precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
9
That he should still live for ever,
and
not see corruption.
10
For he seeth
that
wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave
their wealth to others.
11
Their inward thought
is, that
their houses
shall continue
for ever,
and
their dwelling places
to all generations; they call
their
lands after their own names.
12
Nevertheless man
being
in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts
that
perish.
13
This their way
is
their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
14
Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have
dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave
from their dwelling.
15
But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
16
Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
17
For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
18
Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and
men
will praise thee, when thou doest well
to thyself.
19
He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
20
Man
that is
in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts
that
perish.
CHAPTER 50
The mighty God,
even
the L
ORD
, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto
the going down thereof.
2
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
3
Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall
be very tempestuous round about him.
4
He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
5
Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
6
And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God
is
judge himself. Selah.
