   Bible Reading for April 27   
      
   Psalms 49   
   [1] 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 mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the   
   harp.   
   [5] Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels   
   shall compass me about?   
   [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 honour 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 honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that   
   perish.   
      
   Psalms 50   
   [1] The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the   
   rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. [2] Out of Zion, the perfection   
   of beauty, God hath shined. [3] Our God shall come, and shall not keep   
   silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous   
   round about him. [4] He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the   
   earth, that he may judge his people.   
   [5] Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me   
   by sacrifice.   
   [6] And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself.   
   Selah.   
   [7] Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against   
   thee: I am God, even thy God. [8] I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices   
   or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.   
   [9] I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.   
   [10] For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand   
   hills.   
   [11] I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field   
   are mine.   
   [12] If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the   
   fulness thereof.   
   [13] Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? [14] Offer   
   unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: [15] And call upon   
   me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.   
   [16] But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my   
   statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? [17] Seeing   
   thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee. [18] When thou   
   sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with   
   adulterers.   
   [19] Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. [20] Thou   
   sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's   
   son.   
   [21] These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I   
   was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them   
   in order before thine eyes.   
   [22] Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and   
   there be none to deliver.   
   [23] Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his   
   conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.   
      
   Psalms 51   
   [1] Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto   
   the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. [2] Wash me   
   throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. [3] For I   
   acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. [4] Against thee,   
   thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest   
   be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.   
   [5] Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.   
   [6] Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part   
   thou shalt make me to know wisdom.   
   [7] Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter   
   than snow.   
   [8] Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken   
   may rejoice.   
   [9] Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. [10] Create   
   in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. [11] Cast me   
   not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.   
   [12] Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free   
   spirit.   
   [13] Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted   
   unto thee.   
   [14] Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my   
   tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. [15] O Lord, open thou my lips;   
   and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. [16] For thou desirest not   
   sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.   
   [17] The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart,   
   O God, thou wilt not despise. [18] Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion:   
   build thou the walls of Jerusalem.   
   [19] Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with   
   burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon   
   thine altar.
