(So precious is the redemption of their soules, and the continuance for euer)

That he may liue still for euer, and not see the graue.

For he seeth that wise men die, and also that the ignorant and foolish perish, & leaue their riches for others.

Yet they thinke, their houses, and their habitations shall continue for euer, euen from generation to generation, and call their lands by their names.

Like sheepe they lie in graue: death deuoureth them, and the righteous shall haue domination ouer them in the morning: for their beautie shall consume, when they shall goe from their house to graue.

But God shall deliuer my soule from the power of the graue: for he will receiue me. Selah.

For he shall take nothing away when he dieth, neither shal his pompe descende after him.

For while he liued, he reioyced himselfe: and men will prayse thee, when thou makest much of thy selfe.

He shal enter into the generation of his fathers, and they shall not liue for euer.

And the heauens shall declare his righteousnes: for God is iudge himselfe. Selah.

Heare, O my people, and I wil speake: heare, O Israel, and I wil testifie vnto thee: for I am God, euen thy God.

I wil not reproue thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt offerings, that haue not bene continually before me.

For all the beastes of the forest are mine, and the beastes on a thousand mountaines.

If I bee hungry, I will not tell thee: for the world is mine, and all that therein is.

For when thou seest a thiefe, thou runnest with him, & thou art partaker with the adulterers.

For I know mine iniquities, and my sinne is euer before me.

For thou desirest no sacrifice, though I would giue it: thou delitest not in burnt offering.

Bee fauourable vnto Zion for thy good pleasure: builde the walles of Ierusalem.

So shal God destroy thee for euer: he shal take thee and plucke thee out of thy tabernacle, and roote thee out of ye land of the liuing. Selah.

Beholde the man that tooke not God for his strength, but trusted vnto the multitude of his riches, and put his strength in his malice.
