Part 26

19:048:004 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.

19:048:005 They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.

19:048:006 Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.

19:048:007 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.

19:048:008 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.

19:048:009 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.

19:048:010 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

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.
