An earnest persuasion to build the faith of resurrection, not on worldly power, but on God.1 ¶ [[To the chief Musician,ºª A Psalmº for the sonsº of Korah.]]º Hearºª this,² all² [ye] people;º give ear,ºª all² [ye] inhabitantsºª of the world:º 2 Both² lowº¹ and² high,º¹ richº and poor,º together.º 3 My mouthº shall speakºª of wisdom;º and the meditationº of my heartº [shall be] of understanding.º 4 I will inclineºª mine earº to a parable:º I will openºª my dark sayingº upon the harp.º 5 Wherefore² should I fearºª in the daysº of evil,º [when] the iniquityº of my heels¹² shall compass¹ª me about?² 6 They that trustºª in² their wealth,º and boast¹ª themselves² in the multitudeº of their riches;º 7 None² [of them] can¹ by any meansºª redeemºª his brother,º nor² giveºª to Godº a ransomº for him: 8 (For the redemptionº of their soulº [is] precious,ºª and it ceasethºª for ever:)º 9 That he should still² liveºª for ever,º [and] not² seeºª corruption.º 10 For² he seethºª [that] wise menº die,ºª likewiseº the foolº and the brutish personº perish,ºª and leaveºª their wealthº to others.º 11 Their inward¹ thought² [is, that] their housesº [shall continue] for ever,º [and] their dwelling¹ places² to all¹ generations;º they call¹ª²² [their] landsº after their own names.º 12 Nevertheless manº [being] in honourº abidethºª not:² he is likeºª the beastsº [that] perish.ºª 13 This² their wayº [is] their folly:º yet their posterityº approveºª their sayings.º Selah.º 14 Like sheepº they are laidºª in the grave;º deathº shall feedºª on them; and the uprightº shall have dominionºª over them in the morning;º and their beautyºª¹ shall consumeºª in the graveº from their dwelling.º² 15 But² Godº will redeemºª my soulº from the powerº² of the grave:º for² he shall receiveºª me.
