| Psalms 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: | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 49:2 | Both men of low and men of high degree, rich and poor alike. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 49:3 | My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding: | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 49:4 | I will incline mine ear to a parable, I will open my riddle upon the harp. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 49:5 | Wherefore should I fear in the days of adversity, [when] the iniquity of my supplanters encompasseth me? | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 49:6 | They depend upon their wealth, and boast themselves in the abundance of their riches. ... | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 49:7 | None can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him, | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 49:8 | (For the redemption of their soul is costly, and must be given up for ever,) | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 49:9 | That he should still live perpetually, [and] not see corruption. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 49:10 | For he seeth that wise men die; all alike, the fool and the brutish perish, and they leave their wealth to others. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 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. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 49:12 | Nevertheless, man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 49:13 | This their way is their folly, yet they that come after them delight in their sayings. Selah. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 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. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 49:15 | But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol: for he will receive me. Selah. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 49:16 | Be not afraid when a man becometh rich, when the glory of his house is increased: | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 49:17 | For when he dieth, he shall carry nothing away; his glory shall not descend after him. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 49:18 | Though he blessed his soul in his lifetime, and men will praise thee when thou doest well to thyself, | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 49:19 | It shall go to the generation of his fathers: they shall never see light. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 49:20 | Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish. | |||||||||||||||
