Trust ye not in oppression, in robb'ry be not vain; On wealth set not your hearts, when as increased is your gain.
Lo, this the man is that did not make God his strength at all: But he in his abundant wealth his confidence did place; And he took strength unto himself from his own wickedness.
Whoe'er they be that in their wealth their confidence do pitch, And boast themselves, because they are become exceeding rich:
Because on me he set his love, I'll save and set him free; Because my great name he hath known, I will him set on high.
Sure each man walks in a vain show; they vex themselves in vain: He heaps up wealth, and doth not know to whom it shall pertain.
But know, that for himself the Lord the godly man doth choose: The Lord, when I on him do call, to hear will not refuse.
