49 1 The holy Ghost calleth all men to the consideration of man’s life, 7 showing them not to be most blessed that are most wealthy, and therefore not to be feared: but contrariwise he lifteth up our minds to consider how all things are ruled by God’s providence: 14 Who as he judgeth these worldly misers to everlasting torments, 15 so doth he preserve his, and will reward them in the day of the resurrection, 1 Thess. 1:6.

To him that excelleth. A Psalm committed to the sons of Korah.

Hear [a]this all ye people: give ear, all ye that dwell in the world,

As well low as high, both rich and poor.

My mouth shall speak of wisdom, and the meditation of mine heart is of knowledge.
