Psalm 49

Men cannot be ransomed or redeemed by wealth—God alone can redeem a soul from the grave—The glory of a rich man ceases with his death.


 Hear this, all ye people; give aear, all ye inhabitants of the world:

 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.


 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will aopen my dark saying upon the harp.

 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my aheels shall compass me about?

 They that trust in their awealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;


 (For the redemption of their asoul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)

 That he should still alive for ever, and not see corruption.

 10 For he seeth that wise men adie, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.




 14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have adominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.

 15 But God will aredeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall breceive me. Selah.



 18 Though while he lived he ablessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
