15 But God will sure redeem my soul From the hand of [death and] the grave; For he my hope saviour is, And he [himself] will me receive.
16 Be not discouraged by fear, When wicked men grow [great and] rich; And when the glory of their house, [Their pomp] and power increaseth much.
16 Be not discouraged by fear, When wicked men grow [great and] rich; And when the glory of their house, [Their pomp] and pow'r increaseth much.
17 For he shall carry nothing hence, When [certain] death his days shall end; Nor shall his glory after him Into the [loathsome] grave descend.
18 Though he his flattered soul did bless, Whilst he on earth [in wealth] did live; And when thy courses prosperous are, [Worldly] men will thee praises give.
18 Though he his flatter'd soul did bless, Whil'st he on earth [in wealth] did live; And when thy courses prosperous are, [Worldly] men will thee praises give.
