Psalms 49
1
(49-1) For the Leader; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. (49-2) Hear this, all ye peoples; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world,
2
(49-3) Both low and high, rich and poor together.
3
(49-4) My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.
4
(49-5) I will incline mine ear to a parable; I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
5
(49-6) Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my supplanters compasseth me about,
6
(49-7) Of them that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches?
7
(49-8) No man can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him —
8
(49-9) For too costly is the redemption of their soul, and must be let alone for ever —
9
(49-10) That he should still live alway, that he should not see the pit.
10
(49-11) For he seeth that wise men die, the fool and the brutish together perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11
(49-12) 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
(49-13) But man abideth not in honour; he is like the beasts that perish.
13
(49-14) This is the way of them that are foolish, and of those who after them approve their sayings. Selah
14
(49-15) Like sheep they are appointed for the nether-world; death shall be their shepherd; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their form shall be for the nether-world to wear away, that there be no habitation for it.
15
(49-16) But God will redeem my soul from the power of the nether-world; for He shall receive me. Selah
16
(49-17) Be not thou afraid when one waxeth rich, when the wealth of his house is increased;
17
(49-18) For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; his wealth shall not descend after him.
18
(49-19) Though while he lived he blessed his soul: 'Men will praise thee, when thou shalt do well to thyself';
19
(49-20) It shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see the light.
20
(49-21) Man that is in honour understandeth not; he is like the beasts that perish.
