chapter_Psalm_49
Psalm 49:1: To the Overseer. &#8212; By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Hear this, all ye peoples, Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world. Psalm 49:2: Both low and high, together rich and needy. Psalm 49:3: My mouth speaketh wise things, And the meditations of my heart are things of understanding. Psalm 49:4: I incline to a simile mine ear, I open with a harp my riddle: Psalm 49:5: Why do I fear in days of evil? The iniquity of my supplanters doth compass me. Psalm 49:6: Those trusting on their wealth, And in the multitude of their riches, Do shew themselves foolish. Psalm 49:7: A brother doth no one at all ransom, He doth not give to God his atonement. Psalm 49:8: And precious is the redemption of their soul, And it hath ceased &#8212; to the age. Psalm 49:9: And still he liveth for ever, He seeth not the pit. Psalm 49:10: For he seeth wise men die, Together the foolish and brutish perish, And have left to others their wealth. Psalm 49:11: Their heart is: Their houses are to the age, Their tabernacles to all generations. They proclaimed their names over the lands. Psalm 49:12: And man in honour doth not remain, He hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off. Psalm 49:13: This their way is folly for them, And their posterity with their sayings are pleased. Selah. Psalm 49:14: As sheep for Sheol they have set themselves, Death doth afflict them, And the upright rule over them in the morning, And their form is for consumption. Sheol is a dwelling for him. Psalm 49:15: Only, God doth ransom my soul from the hand of Sheol, For He doth receive me. Selah. Psalm 49:16: Fear not, when one maketh wealth, When the honour of his house is abundant, Psalm 49:17: For at his death he receiveth nothing, His honour goeth not down after him. Psalm 49:18: For his soul in his life he blesseth, (And they praise thee when thou dost well for thyself.) Psalm 49:19: It cometh to the generation of his fathers, For ever they see not the light. Psalm 49:20: Man in honour, who understandest not, Hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off!
