| 49:1 |
[For the choir director. 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 will speak wisdom; And the meditation of my heart [will be] understanding.
|
| 49:4 |
I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will express my riddle on the harp.
|
| 49:5 |
Why should I fear in days of adversity, When the iniquity of my foes surrounds me,
|
| 49:6 |
Even those who trust in their wealth, And boast in the abundance of their riches?
|
| 49:7 |
No man can by any means redeem [his] brother, Or give to God a ransom for him--
|
| 49:8 |
For the redemption of his soul is costly, And he should cease [trying] forever--
|
| 49:9 |
That he should live on eternally; That he should not undergo decay.
|
| 49:10 |
For he sees [that even] wise men die; The stupid and the senseless alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.
|
| 49:11 |
Their inner thought is, [that] their houses are forever, [And] their dwelling places to all generations; They have called their lands after their own names.
|
| 49:12 |
But man in [his] pomp will not endure; He is like the beasts that perish.
|
| 49:13 |
This is the way of those who are foolish, And of those after them who approve their words. Selah.
|
| 49:14 |
As sheep they are appointed for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd; And the upright shall rule over them in the morning; And their form shall be for Sheol to consume, So that they have no habitation.
|
| 49:15 |
But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol; For He will receive me. Selah.
|
| 49:16 |
Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich, When the glory of his house is increased;
|
| 49:17 |
For when he dies he will carry nothing away; His glory will not descend after him.
|
| 49:18 |
Though while he lives he congratulates himself-- And though [men] praise you when you do well for yourself--
|
| 49:19 |
He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see the light.
|
| 49:20 |
Man in [his] pomp, yet without understanding, Is like the beasts that perish.
