Psalm 49 📜 📕 ↷
Evanescence of Wealth
1 A Psalm to Asaph. The God of gods our Lord hath spoken: and he hath called the earth, from the rising of the sun even to the going down.📜💬📚
2 Out of Sion the beauty of his comeliness.📜💬📚
3 God will come manifestly: our God and he will not keep silence. Fire shall burn forth in his sight: and round about him a mighty tempest.📜💬📚
4 He shall call the heaven from above: and the earth to discern his people.📜💬📚
5 Gather ye together his Saints unto him: which ordain his testament above sacrifices.📜💬📚
6 And the heavens shall shew forth his justice: because God is Judge.📜💬📚
7 Hear, o my people, and I will speak: Israel, and I will testify to thee: God thy God am I.📜💬📚
8 I will not rebuke thee in thy sacrifices: and thy holocausts are in my sight always.📜💬📚
9 I will not take calves out of thy house: nor buck-goats out of thy flocks.📜💬📚
10 Because all the wild beasts of the woods be mine, the cattle in the mountains and oxen.📜💬📚
11 I have known all the fowls of the air: and the beauty of the field is with me.📜💬📚
12 If I shall be hungry, I will not tell thee: for the round earth is mine, and the fullness thereof.📜💬📚
13 Will I eat the flesh of oxen? Or will I drink the blood of buck-goats?📜💬📚
14 Immolate to God the sacrifice of praise, and pay thy vows to the Highest.📜💬📚
15 And invocate me in the day of tribulation: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.📜💬📚
16 But to the sinner God hath said: Why doest thou declare my justices, and takest my testament by thy mouth?📜💬📚
17 But thou hast hated discipline & cast my words behind thee.📜💬📚
18 If thou didst see a thief, thou didst run with him: and with adulterers thou didst put thy portion.📜💬📚
19 Thy mouth hath abounded with malice: and thy tongue forged guiles.📜💬📚
20 Sitting thou spakest against thy brother, and against thy mother's son thou didst put a scandal:📜💬📚
21 these things hast thou done, and I have held my peace. Thou hast thought unjustly that I will be like thee: I will reprove thee, and set it against thy face.📜💬📚
22 Understand these things you that forget God: lest sometime he take you violently and there be none to deliver you.📜💬📚
23 The sacrifice of praise shall glorify me: and there is the way, by which I will shew him the salvation of God.📜💬📚
