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