| 49:1 |
{To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.} Hear this, all ye peoples; give ear, all inhabitants of the world:
|
| 49:2 |
Both men of low and men of high degree, rich and poor alike.
|
| 49:3 |
My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding:
|
| 49:4 |
I will incline mine ear to a parable, I will open my riddle upon the harp.
|
| 49:5 |
Wherefore should I fear in the days of adversity, [when] the iniquity of my supplanters encompasseth me? --
|
| 49:6 |
They depend upon their wealth, and boast themselves in the abundance of their riches. ...
|
| 49:7 |
None can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him,
|
| 49:8 |
(For the redemption of their soul is costly, and must be given up for ever,)
|
| 49:9 |
That he should still live perpetually, [and] not see corruption.
|
| 49:10 |
For he seeth that wise men die; all alike, the fool and the brutish perish, and they leave their wealth to others.
|
| 49:11 |
Their inward thought is, that their houses are for ever, their dwelling-places from generation to generation: they call the lands after their own names.
|
| 49:12 |
Nevertheless, man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
|
| 49:13 |
This their way is their folly, yet they that come after them delight in their sayings. Selah.
|
| 49:14 |
Like sheep are they laid in Sheol: Death feedeth on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their comeliness shall be for Sheol to consume, that there be no habitation for them.
|
| 49:15 |
But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol: for he will receive me. Selah.
|
| 49:16 |
Be not afraid when a man becometh rich, when the glory of his house is increased:
|
| 49:17 |
For when he dieth, he shall carry nothing away; his glory shall not descend after him.
|
| 49:18 |
Though he blessed his soul in his lifetime, -- and men will praise thee when thou doest well to thyself, --
|
| 49:19 |
It shall go to the generation of his fathers: they shall never see light.
|
| 49:20 |
Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
