For the
Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. |
| |
|
|
|
|
 |
| Psalm 49:1 |
|
Hear this, all ye peoples; Give ear, all ye
inhabitants of the world, |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 49:2 |
|
Both low and high, Rich and poor together. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 49:3 |
|
My mouth shall speak wisdom; And the meditation
of my heart shall be of understanding. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 49:4 |
|
I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will
open my dark saying upon the harp. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 49:5 |
|
Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil,
When iniquity at my heels compasseth me about? |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 49:6 |
|
They that trust in their wealth, And boast themselves
in the multitude of their riches; |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 49:7 |
|
None of them can by any means redeem his brother,
Nor give to God a ransom for him; |
|
|
|
| Psalm 49:8 |
|
(For the redemption of their life is costly,
And it faileth for ever;) |
|
|
|
| Psalm 49:9 |
|
That he should still live alway, That he should
not see corruption. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 49:10 |
|
For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool
and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 49:11 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 49:12 |
|
But man being in honor abideth not: He is like
the beasts that perish. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 49:13 |
|
This their way is their folly: Yet after them
men approve their sayings. Selah |
|
|
|
| Psalm 49:14 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 49:15 |
|
But God will redeem my soul from the power of
Sheol; For he will receive me. Selah |
|
|
|
| Psalm 49:16 |
|
Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, When
the glory of his house is increased. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 49:17 |
|
For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away;
His glory shall not descend after him. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 49:18 |
|
Though while he lived he blessed his soul (And
men praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself,) |
|
|
|
| Psalm 49:19 |
|
He shall go to the generation of his fathers;
They shall never see the light. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 49:20 |
|
Man that is in honor, and understandeth not,
Is like the beasts that perish. |
