    Psalms 49
    • 1   To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. Hear this, all [ye] people; give ear, all [ye] inhabitants of the world:
    • 2   Both low and high, rich and poor together.
    • 3   My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart [shall be] of understanding.
    • 4   I will incline my ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
    • 5   Why should I fear in the days of evil, [when] the iniquity of my heels shall encompass me?
    • 6   They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
    • 7   None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
    • 8   (For the redemption of their soul [is] precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
    • 9   That he should still live for ever, [and] not see corruption.
    • 10   For he seeth [that] wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
    • 11   Their inward thought [is], [that] their houses [shall continue] for ever, [and] their dwelling places to all generations; they call [their] lands after their own names.
    • 12   Nevertheless man [being] in honor abideth not: he is like the beasts [that] perish.
    • 13   This their way [is] their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
    • 14   Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.
    • 15   But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
    • 16   Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
    • 17   For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
    • 18   Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and [men] will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
    • 19   He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
    • 20   Man [that is] in honor, and understandeth not, is like the beasts [that] perish.

    Webster Bible Electronic Format.
    PUBLIC DOMAIN

    February 1992

    Beginning in July of 1991 the task of placing the Webster Bible text in electronic format began. The original purpose was to provide Larry Pierce, who produces the On-Line Bible program, with a more modern *public domain* text, similar in content and style to the AV but with a grammar that would provide better comprehension in todays English.

    I plan on maintaining an accurate copy of the Webster text. Anyone finding an error should contact me; Anyone desiring to obtain the latest, most correct text, can find it on the Bible Foundation BBS, or can contact me in the following methods:

    I would like to thank the Bible Foundation not only for scanning nearly the entire Webster Bible but for encouraging me to undertake this monumental work; particularly around page 20 when I realized what I had gotten myself into. Special thanks to Jerry Kingery of the Bible Foundation for scanning, and Jerry Hastings for doing some preliminary scan cleaning and making the texts available on the BBS.
