Psalm 48 📜 📕 ↷
Broken Bondage
1 UNTO the end, to the sons of Core a Psalm.📜💬📚
2 Hear these things all ye Gentiles: receive with your ears all ye that inhabit the earth.📜💬📚
3 All ye earthly persons, and children of men: together in one, the rich and the poor.📜💬📚
4 My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart prudence.📜💬📚
5 I will incline mine ear unto a parable: I will open my proposition on a Psalter.📜💬📚
6 Why shall I fear in the evil day? The iniquity of my heel shall compass me.📜💬📚
7 They that trust in their strength: and glory in the multitude of their riches.📜💬📚
8 A brother doth not redeem, man shall redeem: he shall not give unto God his reconciliation.📜💬📚
9 And the price of the redemption of his own soul: and he shall labour for ever,📜💬📚
10 and shall live yet unto the end.📜💬📚
11 He shall not see death, when he shall see the wise dying, the unwise, and the fool shall perish together. And they shall leave their riches to strangers:📜💬📚
12 and their sepulchres their houses for ever. Their Tabernacles in generation and generation: they have renowned their names in their lands.📜💬📚
13 And man when he was in honour did not understand: he was compared to beasts without understanding, and became like to them.📜💬📚
14 This their way is a scandal to them: and afterward in their mouth they shall take pleasure.📜💬📚
15 As sheep they are put in hell: death shall feed upon them. And the just shall rule over them in the morning: and their aid shall wax old in hell from their glory.📜💬📚
16 Nevertheless God will redeem my soul out of the hand of hell, when he shall take me,📜💬📚
17 Fear not when a man shall be made rich: and when the glory of his house shall be multiplied.📜💬📚
18 Because when he shall die, he shall not take all things: neither shall his glory go down with him.📜💬📚
19 Because his soul in his life shall be blessed: he will confess to thee when thou shalt do him good.📜💬📚
20 He shall enter in, even to the progenies of his fathers: and he shall not see light for ever.📜💬📚
21 Man, when he was in honour, did not understand: he was compared to beasts without understanding, and became like to them.📜💬📚
