Psalms 49:16-20 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

16. Be thou not then afraid when oneenriched thou dost see,Nor when the glory of his houseadvanced is on high:

17. For he shall carry nothing hencewhen death his days doth end;Nor shall his glory after himinto the grave descend.

18. Although he his own soul did blesswhilst 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 honour'd wanting knowledge islike beasts that perish quite.
