49:1 |
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. Hear this, all peoples! Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,
|
49:2 |
both low and high, rich and poor together!
|
49:3 |
My mouth shall speak wisdom;the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.
|
49:4 |
I will incline my ear to a proverb;I will solve my riddle to the music of the lyre.
|
49:5 |
Why should I fear in times of trouble, when the iniquity of my persecutors surrounds me,
|
49:6 |
men who trust in their wealth and boast of the abundance of their riches?
|
49:7 |
Truly no man can ransom himself, or give to God the price of his life,
|
49:8 |
for the ransom of his life is costly, and can never suffice,
|
49:9 |
that he should continue to live on for ever, and never see the Pit.
|
49:10 |
Yea, he shall see that even the wise die, the fool and the stupid alike must perish and leave their wealth to others.
|
49:11 |
Their graves are their homes for ever, their dwelling places to all generations, though they named lands their own.
|
49:12 |
Man cannot abide in his pomp, he is like the beasts that perish.
|
49:13 |
This is the fate of those who have foolish confidence, the end of those who are pleased with their portion. [Selah]
|
49:14 |
Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol;Death shall be their shepherd;straight to the grave they descend, and their form shall waste away;Sheol shall be their home.
|
49:15 |
But God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. [Selah]
|
49:16 |
Be not afraid when one becomes rich, when the glory of his house increases.
|
49:17 |
For when he dies he will carry nothing away;his glory will not go down after him.
|
49:18 |
Though, while he lives, he counts himself happy, and though a man gets praise when he does well for himself,
|
49:19 |
he will go to the generation of his fathers, who will never more see the light.
|
49:20 |
Man cannot abide in his pomp, he is like the beasts that perish.
