- 0. [To the chiefe musition, <BR />a psalme of the children of Corach.]
- 1. Heare this all ye people: geue eare all ye that dwell in the worlde.
- 2. As well lowe as high: riche and poore, one with another.
- 3. My mouth shall vtter wisdome: the cogitations of myne heart [wyll bryng foorth] knowledge.
- 4. I wyll encline myne eare to a parable: I wyll open my darke sentence vpon a harpe.
- 5. Wherfore shoulde I feare in euyll dayes? the wickednesse of my heeles [then] would compasse me round about.
- 6. There be some that put their trust in their goodes: and boast them selues in the multitude of their riches.
- 7. But no man at all can redeeme his brother: nor geue a raunsome vnto God for hym.
- 8. For the redemption of their soule is very costly, and must be let alone for euer:
- 9. yea though he lyue long and see not the graue.
- 10. For he seeth that wyse men dye: and that the foole and ignoraunt perishe together, and leaue their riches for other.
- 11. And yet they thynke that their houses shall continue for euer, and that their dwellyng places shall endure from one generation to another: [therfore] they call landes after their owne names.
- 12. Neuerthelesse, man can not abyde in [such] honour: he is but lyke vnto bruite beastes that perishe.
- 13. This their way is their foolishnesse: yet their posteritie prayse their saying. Selah.
- 14. They shalbe put into a graue [dead] as a sheepe, death shall feede on them: but the ryghteous shall haue dominion of them in the mornyng, their beautie shall consume away, hell [shall receaue them] from their house.
- 15. But God wyll delyuer my soule from the place of hell: for he wyll receaue me. Selah.
- 16. Be not thou afrayde though one be made riche: or yf the glorie of his house be encreased.
- 17. For he shall cary nothyng away with hym when he dyeth: neither shall his pompe folowe after hym.
- 18. For whyle he lyued he counted him selfe an happy man: and so long as thou doest well vnto thy selfe, men wyll speake good of thee.
- 19. But he shal folowe the generations of his fathers: and shall neuer see lyght.
- 20. A man is in an honourable state, but he wyll not vnderstande it: he is lyke [herein] vnto bruite beastes that perishe.
