- 0. To him that excelleth.<br>
A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. - 1. Heare this, all ye people: giue eare, all ye that dwell in the world,
- 2. As well lowe as hie, both rich and poore.
- 3. My mouth shal speake of wisdome, and the meditation of mine heart is of knowledge.
- 4. I will incline mine eare to a parable, and vtter my graue matter vpon the harpe.
- 5. Wherefore should I feare in the euil dayes, when iniquitie shal compasse me about, as at mine heeles?
- 6. They trust in their goods, and boast them selues in the multitude of their riches.
- 7. Yet a man can by no meanes redeeme his brother: he can not giue his raunsome to God,
- 8. (So precious is the redemption of their soules, and the continuance for euer)
- 9. That he may liue still for euer, and not see the graue.
- 10. For he seeth that wise men die, and also that the ignorant and foolish perish, & leaue their riches for others.
- 11. Yet they thinke, their houses, and their habitations shall continue for euer, euen from generation to generation, and call their lands by their names.
- 12. But man shall not continue in honour: he is like the beastes that die.
- 13. This their way vttereth their foolishnes: yet their posteritie delite in their talke. Selah.
- 14. Like sheepe they lie in graue: death deuoureth them, and the righteous shall haue domination ouer them in the morning: for their beautie shall consume, when they shall goe from their house to graue.
- 15. But God shall deliuer my soule from the power of the graue: for he will receiue me. Selah.
- 16. Be not thou afrayd when one is made rich, and when the glory of his house is increased.
- 17. For he shall take nothing away when he dieth, neither shal his pompe descende after him.
- 18. For while he liued, he reioyced himselfe: and men will prayse thee, when thou makest much of thy selfe.
- 19. He shal enter into the generation of his fathers, and they shall not liue for euer.
- 20. Man is in honour, and vnderstandeth not: he is like to beasts that perish.
