Hear this all people, and give ear
Hymnal: The Psalms Hymns and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New Testament, faithfully translated into English Metre #PXLIX (1773) Hymnal Title: The Psalms Hymns and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New Testament, faithfully translated into English Metre Lyrics: 1 Hear this all people, and give ear,
all in the world who dwell;
2 Both low and high, both rich and poor,
together listen well.
3 I with my mouth variety
of wisdom will impart,
And prudent knowledge rising from
the musing of my heart.
4 To an instructive parable
I'll first incline mine ear;
And then will with my song and harp,
My mystery declare.
5 Why should fear in evil days
when the iniquities
Of my stray feet surround me with
hosts of calamities?
[2 Part]
6 Those men that make their great estates
their stay whereon to trust,
Or in th' abundance of their wealth
who confidently boast;
7 Yet none of them his brother can
by any means redeem,
Neither to GOD can ever pay
a ransom meet for him.
8 So dear his life's redemption is,
that bought it cannot be;
9 That he should still for ever live,
And not corruption see.
10 For they must see that wise men die,
the fool and brutish too,
All perish, and their great estates
to others leave they do.
11 They think their houses ever stand,
and dwelling places shall
Last to all ages; and their lands
by their own names they call:
12 But such men in their honour set
Continue but a night;
And like the beasts are soon cut off,
And quickly perish quite.
13 This way of theirs their folly is:
and yet their mouth and way
Their sons approve, and will pursue;
like foolish sheep are they.
14 They in the sepulchre are laid,
and death shall them devour;
But in the morning over them
the just shall have the pow'r.
And from the houses where they dwell,
The beauty now they have.
Shall utterly consume away
in the corrupting grave.
15 But GOD my soul will from the pow'r
ev'n of the grave redeem;
And he will surely me receive
to live in bliss with him. (Selah)
[3 Part]
16 Be not disturb'd when thou dost see
riches to any flow,
Nor when the glory of his house
abundantly does grow.
17 For he shall carry nothing hence,
when death his days shall end;
Nor shall his glory after him
into the grave descend.
18 Tho' he his soul doth greatly bless,
while he on earth does live;
And when thou to thy self dost well,
men will their praises give;
19 Yet in their fathers steps they tread;
and when like them thy die,
Their wretched ancestors and they
in utter darkness lie.
20 For man how great soever here,
unless he's truly wise;
As like a sensual beast he lives,
so like a beast he dies. Scripture: Psalm 49 Languages: English
Hear this all people, and give ear
Hear this all people, all give ear

Hear this all people, all give ear

Hymnal: The Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New-Testament #PXLIX (1742) Hymnal Title: The Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New-Testament First Line: Hear this all people, and give ear Lyrics: 1 Hear this all people, and give ear,
all in the world that dwell
2 Sons both of low and higher men,
The rich and poor as well.
3 I with my mouth variety
Of wisdom will impart;
Of understanding much shall be
the musing of my heart.
4 Unto a speech proverbial
I will encline mine ear;
I will upon the harp withal
My doctrine dark declare.
5 Why should I be at all afraid
In days that evil be?
When that my heels iniquity
About shall compass me.

6 Those men that make their great estates
Their stay to trust unto;
Who in the plenty of their wealth
Themselves do boast also:
7 There's not a man of them that can
By any means redeem
His brother, nor to God can give
A ransom meet for him.
8 (So dear their souls redemption is,
And ever ceaseth it.)
9 That he should still for ever live,
And never see the pit.
10 For he doth see that wise men die,
The fool and brutish too
Do perish; and their rich estate
To others leave they do.
11 They think their houses are for aye,
To generations all
Their dwelling places; and their lands
They by their names do call.
12 But man in honour being set
Abideth not at night;
But he becometh like unto
The beast that perish quite.
13 This way of theirs their folly is;
Yet their posterity
Delighting in that which they say
Approve it veh'mently.
14 Like sheep so are they laid in grave,
Death shall them feed upon;
And th' upright over them i' th' morn
Shall have dominion.
And from the place whereas they dwell,
The beauty which they have
Shall utterly consume away
Within the rotting grave.
15 But surely God redemption
Unto my soul will give,
Ev'n from the grave's prevailing pow'r,
For he will me receive.
[3]
16 Be not afraid when as a man
In wealth is made to grow;
And when the glory of his house
Abundantly doth flow.
17 For when as he doth come to die,
Nought shall he take away:
Nor shall there after him descend
His glorious array.
18 Although in his life time his soul
For blessed he did take,
And men will praise thee when as thou
Much of thy self dost make.
19 He shall go to his fathers face,
They never shall see light.
20 In honour man that knows not, is
Like beasts that perish quite. Scripture: Psalm 49 Languages: English
To the chief Musician. A Psalm for the Sons of Korah
