05:02Psalm 49
05:06Listen to this, all you nations
05:08Pay attention, all you inhabitants of the world
05:13Pay attention, all you people, both rich and poor
05:17I will declare a wise saying
05:20I will share my profound thoughts
05:24I will learn a song that imparts wisdom
05:27I will then sing my insightful song
05:30To the accompaniment of a harp
05:34Why should I be afraid in times of trouble
05:37When the sinful deeds of deceptive men threaten to overwhelm me
05:42They trust in their wealth
05:44And boast in their great riches
05:47Certainly a man cannot rescue his brother
05:49He cannot pay God an adequate ransom price
05:54For the ransom price of a human life is too high
05:57And people go to their final destiny
06:01So that he might continue to live forever
06:04And not experience death
06:07Surely one sees that even wise people die
06:10Fools and spiritually insensitive people
06:14All pass away
06:16And leave their wealth to others
06:18Their grave becomes their permanent residence
06:22Their eternal dwelling place
06:24They name their lands after themselves
06:27But despite their wealth
06:29People do not last
06:31They are like animals that perish
06:34This is the destiny of fools
06:37And of those who approve of their philosophy
06:41They will travel to Sheol like sheep
06:44With death as their shepherd
06:46The godly will rule over them
06:48When the day of vindication dawns
06:52Sheol will consume their bodies
06:54And they will no longer live
06:55In impressive houses
06:58But God will rescue my life
07:01From the power of Sheol
07:02Certainly he will pull me to safety
07:07Do not be afraid
07:09When a man becomes rich
07:10And his wealth multiplies
07:12For he will take nothing with him
07:14When he dies
07:15His wealth will not follow him down
07:17Into the grave
07:20He pronounces this blessing on himself
07:23While he is alive
07:25May men praise you
07:27For you have done well
07:30But he will join his ancestors
07:32And they will never again
07:34See the light of day
07:37Wealthy people do not understand
07:38They are like animals that perish
07:43Glory be to the Father
07:45And to the Son
07:46And to the Holy Spirit
07:48As it was in the beginning
07:50Is now and ever shall be
07:53World without end
07:55Amen
08:14Humble yourselves
08:16Under the mighty hand of God
08:18So that he may exalt you in due time
08:23Cast all your anxiety on him
08:25Because he cares for you
08:31Visit this place, O Lord, we pray
08:34And drive far from it
08:37The snares of the enemy
08:39May your holy angels dwell with us
08:42And guard us in peace
08:44And may your blessings be always upon us
08:48Through Jesus Christ, our Lord
08:59Now, according to your word, Sovereign Lord
09:02Permit your servant to depart in peace
09:06For my eyes have seen your salvation
09:09That you have prepared
09:11In the presence of all peoples
09:14A light for the revelation to the Gentiles
09:17And for glory to your people Israel
09:22Glory be to the Father
09:24And to the Son
09:25And to the Holy Spirit
09:26As it was in the beginning
09:29Is now and ever shall be
09:30World without end
09:32Amen
09:38Lighten our darkness, Lord, we pray
09:40And in your great mercy
09:43Defend us from all perils and dangers
09:46Of this night
09:47For the love of your only Son
09:49Our Saviour
09:50Jesus Christ
09:53Amen
09:57Our Father who art in heaven
09:59Hallowed be thy name
10:01Thy kingdom come
10:03Thy will be done
10:05On earth as it is in heaven
10:08Give us this day
10:10Our daily bread
10:11And forgive us our trespasses
10:14As we forgive those who trespass against us
10:19Lead us not into temptation
10:22But deliver us from evil
10:24For thine is the kingdom
10:27The power and the glory
10:29Forever and ever
10:31Amen
10:35In peace will we lie down and sleep
10:40For you alone, Lord
10:42Make us dwell in safety
10:47Abide with us, Lord Jesus
10:49For the night is at hand
10:51And the day is now past
10:56As the night watch looks for the morning
11:00So do we look for you, O Christ
11:06Come with the dawning of the day
11:08And make yourself known
11:10In the breaking of the bread
11:15May the Lord bless us and watch over us
11:18The Lord make his face shine upon us
11:22And be gracious to us
11:26The Lord look kindly on us
11:29And give us peace
11:32Amen
