1262 Psalms 49

in the city of our God :

God will establish it for ever.

Selah.

We have thought of thy loving-kindness, O God,

in the midst of thy temple.

According to thy name, O God,

so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth :

thy right hand is full of righteousness.

Let mount Zion rejoice,

let the daughters of Judah be glad,

because of thy judgments.

Walk about Zion, and go round about her :

tell the towers thereof.

Mark ye well her bulwarks,

consider her palaces ;

that ye may tell it to the generation following.

For this God is our God for ever and ever :

he will be our guide even unto death.

The Folly of Trusting in Riches

To the chief Musician,

A Psalm for the sons of Korah.

Hear this, all ye people ;

give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world :

both low and high,

rich and poor, together.

My mouth shall speak of wisdom ;

and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

I will incline mine ear to a parable :

I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil,
