Updated King James Bible 1850 Edition (KJV)

1 An earnest persuasion to build the faith of resurrection, not on worldly power, but on God. 16 Worldly prosperity is not to be admired.

49:1 ¶ {To the chief Musician, 5329 z8764 A Psalm 4210 for the sons 1121 of Korah.} 7141 Hear 8085 z8798 this, x2063 all x3605 [ye] people; 5971 give ear, 238 z8685 all x3605 [ye] inhabitants 3427 z8802 of the world: 2465

49:2 Both x1571 low 120 y1121 and x1571 high, 376 y1121 rich 6223 and poor, 34 together. 3162

49:3 My mouth 6310 shall speak 1696 z8762 of wisdom; 2454 and the meditation 1900 of my heart 3820 [shall be] of understanding. 8394

49:4 I will incline 5186 z8686 mine ear 241 to a parable: 4912 I will open 6605 z8799 my dark saying 2420 upon the harp. 3658

49:5 Wherefore x4100 should I fear 3372 z8799 in the days 3117 of evil, 7451 [when] the iniquity 5771 of my heels y6120 x6119 shall compass y5437 z8799 me about? x5437

49:6 They that trust 982 z8802 in x5921 their wealth, 2428 and boast y1984 z8691 themselves x1984 in the multitude 7230 of their riches; 6239

49:7 None x3808 [of them] can y376 by any means 6299 z8800 redeem 6299 z8799 his brother, 251 nor x3808 give 5414 z8799 to God 430 a ransom 3724 for him:

49:8 (For the redemption 6306 of their soul 5315 [is] precious, 3365 z8799 and it ceaseth 2308 z8804 forever:) 5769

49:9 That he should still x5750 live 2421 z8799 forever, 5331 [and] not x3808 see 7200 z8799 corruption. 7845

49:10 For x3588 he seeth 7200 z8799 [that] wise men 2450 die, 4191 z8799 likewise 3162 the fool 3684 and the brutish person 1198 perish, 6 z8799 and leave 5800 z8804 their wealth 2428 to others. 312

49:11 Their inward y7130 thought x7130 [is], [that] their houses 1004 [shall continue] forever, 5769 [and] their dwelling y4908 places x4908 to all y1755 generations; 1755 they call y7121 z8804 x712 x5921 [their] lands 127 after their own names. 8034

49:12 Nevertheless man 120 [being] in honor 3366 abideth 3885 z8799 not: x1077 he is like 4911 z8738 the beasts 929 [that] perish. 1820 z8738

49:13 This x2088 their way 1870 [is] their folly: 3689 yet their posterity 310 approve 7521 z8799 their sayings. 6310 Selah. 5542

49:14 Like sheep 6629 they are laid 8371 z8804 in the grave; 7585 death 4194 shall feed 7462 z8799 on them; and the upright 3477 shall have dominion 7287 z8799 over them in the morning; 1242 and their beauty 6697 z8675 y6736 shall consume 1086 z8763 in the grave 7585 from their dwelling. 2073 x4480

49:15 But x389 God 430 will redeem 6299 z8799 my soul 5315 from the power 3027 x4480 of the grave: 7585 for x3588 he shall receive 3947 z8799 me. Selah. 5542

49:16 Be not x408 thou afraid 3372 z8799 when x3588 one 376 is made rich, 6238 z8686 when x3588 the glory 3519 of his house 1004 is increased; 7235 z8799

49:17 For when x3588 he dieth 4194 he shall carry x3947 nothing x3808 x3605 away: y3947 z8799 his glory 3519 shall not x3808 descend 3381 z8799 after 310 him.

49:18 Though x3588 while he lived 2416 he blessed 1288 z8762 his soul: 5315 and [men] will praise 3034 z8686 thee, when x3588 thou doest well 3190 z8686 to thyself.

49:19 He shall go 935 z8799 to x5704 the generation 1755 of his fathers; 1 they shall never 3808 5331 x5704 see 7200 z8799 light. 216

49:20 Man 120 [that is] in honor, 3366 and understandeth 995 z8799 not, x3808 is like 4911 z8738 the beasts 929 [that] perish. 1820 z8738
