19:048:011 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters
of Judah be glad,
because
of thy judgments.
19:048:012 Walk about Zion, and go round about her:
tell the towers
thereof.
19:048:013 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her
palaces; that ye may
tell
it to the generation following.
19:048:014 For this God is our God for ever and ever:
he will be our
guide
even unto death.
19:049:001 Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all
ye inhabitants of the
world:
19:049:002 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
19:049:003 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the
meditation of my heart
shall
be of understanding.
19:049:004 I will incline mine ear to a parable:
I will open my dark
saying
upon the harp.
19:049:005 Wherefore should I fear in the days of
evil, when the iniquity
of
my heels shall compass me about?
19:049:006 They that trust in their wealth, and boast
themselves in the
multitude
of their riches;
19:049:007 None of them can by any means redeem his
brother, nor give to
God
a ransom for him:
19:049:008 (For the redemption of their soul is precious,
and it ceaseth
for
ever:)
19:049:009 That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
19:049:010 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise
the fool and the
brutish
person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
19:049:011 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.
19:049:012 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth
not: he is like the
beasts
that perish.
19:049:013 This their way is their folly: yet
their posterity approve
their
sayings. Selah.
19:049:014 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.
19:049:015 But God will redeem my soul from the power
of the grave: for
he
shall receive me. Selah.
19:049:016 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich,
when the glory of
his
house is increased;
19:049:017 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing
away: his glory shall
not
descend after him.
19:049:018 Though while he lived he blessed his soul:
and men will praise
thee,
when thou doest well to thyself.
19:049:019 He shall go to the generation of his fathers;
they shall never
see
light.
19:049:020 Man that is in honour, and understandeth
not, is like the
beasts
that perish.
