A Psalm.> Give attention to this, all you peoples; let your ears be open, all you who are living in the world. | Hear this, all ye peoples; Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world, | A psalm for Asaph.

| Psalms 49:7 | None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give God a ransom for him. | Truly, no man may get back his soul for a price, or give to God the payment for himself; | None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him; | Hear, O my people, and I will speak: O Israel, and I will testify to thee: I am God, thy God. |
| Psalms 49:8 | For the redemption of their life is costly, No payment is ever enough, | (Because it takes a great price to keep his soul from death, and man is not able to give it.) | (For the redemption of their life is costly, And it faileth for ever;) | I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices: and thy burnt offerings are always in my sight. |

| Psalms 49:11 | Their inward thought is, that their houses endure forever, And their dwelling places to all generations. They call their lands after their own names. | The place of the dead is their house for ever, and their resting-place through all generations; those who come after them give their names to their lands. | 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. | I know all the fowls of the air: and with me is the beauty of the field. |

| Psalms 49:13 | This is the destiny of those who are foolish, And of those who approve their sayings. Selah. | This is the way of the foolish; their silver is for those who come after them, and their children get the pleasure of their gold.

| Psalms 49:14 | They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, That there be no habitation for it. | Death will give them their food like sheep; the underworld is their fate and they will go down into it; their flesh is food for worms; their form is wasted away; the underworld is their resting-place for ever. | They are appointed as a flock for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd; And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, That there be no habitation for it. | Offer to God the sacrifice of praise: and pay thy vows to the most High. |
| Psalms 49:15 | But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, For he will receive me. Selah. | But God will get back my soul; for he will take me from the power of death. (Selah.) | But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol; For he will receive me. Selah | And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. |
| Psalms 49:16 | Don't be afraid when a man is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased. | Have no fear when wealth comes to a man, and the glory of his house is increased; | Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased. | But to the sinner God hath said: Why dost thou declare my justices, and take my covenant in thy mouth ? |
