Behold the power of God in the Psalms!

The future proves the past.

 

Psalm 49:

The Folly of Trust in Riches

A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.

 

49 Hear this, all peoples!

Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,

2 both low and high,

rich and poor together!

3 My mouth shall speak wisdom;

the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.

4 I will incline my ear to a proverb;

I will solve my riddle to the music of the lyre.

 

5 Why should I fear in times of trouble,

when the iniquity of my persecutors surrounds me,

6 men who trust in their wealth

and boast of the abundance of their riches?

7 Truly no man can ransom himself,

or give to God the price of his life,

8 for the ransom of his life is costly,

and can never suffice,

9 that he should continue to live on for ever,

and never see the Pit.

 

10 Yea, he shall see that even the wise die,

the fool and the stupid alike must perish

and leave their wealth to others.

11 Their graves are their homes for ever,

their dwelling places to all generations,

though they named lands their own.

12 Man cannot abide in his pomp,

he is like the beasts that perish.

 

13 This is the fate of those who have foolish confidence,

the end of those who are pleased with their portion. Selah

14 Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol;

Death shall be their shepherd;

straight to the grave they descend,

and their form shall waste away;

Sheol shall be their home.

15 But God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol,

for he will receive me .Selah

 

16 Be not afraid when one becomes rich,

when the glory of his house increases.

17 For when he dies he will carry nothing away;

his glory will not go down after him.

18 Though, while he lives, he counts himself happy,

and though a man gets praise when he does well for himself,

19 he will go to the generation of his fathers,

who will never more see the light.

20 Man cannot abide in his pomp,

he is like the beasts that perish.

Psalm 52:

Judgment on the Deceitful

A Maskil of David.

 

52 Why do you boast, O mighty man,

of mischief done against the godly?

All the day 2 you are plotting destruction.

Your tongue is like a sharp razor,

you worker of treachery.

3 You love evil more than good,

and lying more than speaking the truth. Selah

4 You love all words that devour,

O deceitful tongue.

 

5 But God will break you down for ever;

he will snatch and tear you from your tent;

he will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah

6 The righteous shall see, and fear,

and shall laugh at him, saying,

7 “See the man who would not make

God his refuge,

but trusted in the abundance of his riches,

and sought refuge in his wealth!”

 

8 But I am like a green olive tree

in the house of God.

I trust in the steadfast love of God

for ever and ever.

9 I will thank thee for ever,

because thou hast done it.

I will proclaim thy name, for it is good,

in the presence of the godly.
