(48-1) <Unto the end, a psalm for the sons of Core.> (48-2) Hear these things, all ye nations: give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world.
2
(48-3) All you that are earthborn, and you sons of men: both rich and poor together.
3
(48-4) My mouth shall speak wisdom: and the meditation of my heart understanding.
4
(48-5) I will incline my ear to a parable; I will open my proposition on the psaltery.
5
(48-6) Why shall I fear in the evil day? the iniquity of my heel shall encompass me.
6
(48-7) They that trust in their own strength, and glory in the multitude of their riches,
7
(48-8) No brother can redeem, nor shall man redeem: he shall not give to God his ransom,
8
(48-9) Nor the price of the redemption of his soul: and shall labour for ever,
9
(48-10) And shall still live unto the end.
10
(48-11) He shall not see destruction, when he shall see the wise dying: the senseless and the fool shall perish together: And they shall leave their riches to strangers:
11
(48-12) And their sepulchres shall be their houses for ever. Their dwelling places to all generations: they have called their lands by their names.
