Psal DRC 48:6  Why shall I fear in the evil day? the iniquity of my heel shall encompass me.
Psal DRC 48:7  They that trust in their own strength, and glory in the multitude of their riches,

Psal DRC 48:9  Nor the price of the redemption of his soul: and shall labour for ever,
Psal DRC 48:11  He shall not see destruction, when he shall see the wise dying: the senseless and the fool shall perish together: And they shall leave their riches to strangers:
Psal DRC 48:12  And their sepulchres shall be their houses for ever. Their dwelling places to all generations: they have called their lands by their names.

Psal DRC 48:17  Be not thou afraid, when a man shall be made rich, and when the glory of his house shall be increased.
Psal DRC 48:18  For when he shall die he shall take nothing away; nor shall his glory descend with him.
Psal DRC 48:19  For in his lifetime his soul will be blessed: and he will praise thee when thou shalt do well to him.
Psal DRC 48:20  He shall go in to the generations of his fathers: and he shall never see light.
Psal DRC 48:21  Man when he was in honour did not understand: he hath been compared to senseless beasts, and made like to them.
