Bible. Psalms
19:048:002 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount
Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
19:048:003 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
19:048:004 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
19:048:005 They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and
hasted away.
19:048:006 Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in
travail.
19:048:007 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
19:048:008 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of
hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever.
Selah.
19:048:009 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of
thy temple.
19:048:010 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends
of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
19:048:011 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad,
because of thy judgments.
19:048:012 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers
thereof.
19:048:013 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may
tell it to the generation following.
19:048:014 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our
guide even unto death.
19:049:001 Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the
world:
19:049:002 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
19:049:003 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart
shall be of understanding.
19:049:004 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark
saying upon the harp.
19:049:005 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity
of my heels shall compass me about?
19:049:006 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the
multitude of their riches;
19:049:007 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to
God a ransom for him:
19:049:008 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth
for ever:)
19:049:009 That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
19:049:010 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the
brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
19:049:011 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for
ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call
their lands after their own names.
19:049:012 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the
beasts that perish.
19:049:013 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve
their sayings. Selah.
19:049:014 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on
them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the
morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from
their dwelling.
