Psalm 49: Hear this, all people, and give ear

Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #P52 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Hear this, all people, and give ear Lyrics: 1Hear this, all people, and give ear, all in the world that dwell; 2Both low and high, both rich and poor. 3My mouth shall wisdom tell: My heart shall knowledge meditate. 4I will incline mine ear To parables, and on the harp my sayings dark declare. 5Amidst those days that evil be, why should I, fearing, doubt? When of my heels th’ iniquity shall compass me about. 6Whoe’er they be that in their wealth their confidence do pitch, And boast themselves, because they are become exceeding rich: 7Yet none of these his brother can redeem by any way; Nor can he unto God for him sufficient ransom pay, 8(Their soul’s redemption precious is, and it can never be,) 9That still he should for ever live, and not corruption see. 10For why? he seeth that wise men die, and brutish fools also Do perish; and their wealth, when dead, to others they let go. 11Their inward thought is, that their house and dwelling-places shall Stand through all ages; they their lands by their own names do call. 12But yet in honour shall not man abide continually; But passing hence, may be compar’d unto the beasts that die. 13Thus brutish folly plainly is their wisdom and their way; Yet their posterity approve what they do fondly say. 14Like sheep they in the grave are laid, and death shall them devour; And in the morning upright men shall over them have pow’r: Their beauty from their dwelling shall consume within the grave. 15But from hell’s hand God will me free, for he shall me receive. 16Be thou not then afraid when one enriched thou dost see, Nor when the glory of his house advanced is on high: 17For he shall carry nothing hence when death his days doth end; Nor shall his glory after him into the grave descend. 18Although he his own soul did bless whilst he on earth did live; (And when thou to thyself dost well, men will thee praises give;) 19He to his fathers’ race shall go, they never shall see light. 20Man honour’d wanting knowledge is like beasts that perish quite.

Hear this, all people and give ear

Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P49a (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Hear this, all people, and give ear, all in the world that dwell, 2 both low and high, both rich and poor; 3 my mouth shall wisdom tell: my heart shall knowledge meditate. 4 I will incline mine ear to parables, and on the harp my sayings dark declare. 5 Amidst those days that evil be, why should I fearing doubt? When my pursuers' wickedness shall compass me about. 6 Whoe’er they be that in their wealth their confidence do place, and who themselves because their riches grow apace; 7 Yet none of these his brother can redeem by any way; nor can he unto God for him sufficient ransom pay; 8 that he should still for ever live and not corruption see: 9 their souls's redemption costly is, nor can it ever be. 10 Because he sees that wise men die, that fools and brutish all do perish, and, when dead, their wealth doth unto others fall. 11 Their inward thought is that their homes and dwelling places all shall stand for evermore; their lands by their own names they call. 12 But yet in honour shall not man abide continually; but passing hence may be compared unto the beasts that die. 13 Thus brutish folly plainly is their wisdom and their way; yet their posterity approve what they do fondly say. 14 Like sheep they in the grave are laid, and death shall them devour; and in the morning upright men shall over them have power: their beauty from their dwelling shall consume within the grave. 15 But from death’s hand God will me free, for he shall me receive. 16 Be not afraid then when a man enriched thou dost see; nor when the glory of his house increaseth wondrously. 17 For he shall carry nothing hence, when death his days doth end; nor shall his glory after him into the grave descend. 18 Although he his own soul did bless, whilst he on earth did live; (and when thou to thyself dost well, men will thee praises give;) 19 he to his fathers’ race shall go; they never shall see light. 20 Man honoured wanting knowledge is like beasts that perish quite.
