49:1 |
To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. Hear this, all [ye] people; give ear, all [ye] inhabitants of the world:
|
49:2 |
Both low and high, rich and poor together.
|
49:3 |
My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart [shall be] of understanding.
|
49:4 |
I will incline my ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
|
49:5 |
Why should I fear in the days of evil, [when] the iniquity of my heels shall encompass me?
|
49:6 |
They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
|
49:7 |
None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
|
49:8 |
(For the redemption of their soul [is] precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
|
49:9 |
That he should still live for ever, [and] not see corruption.
|
49:10 |
For he seeth [that] wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
|
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.
|
49:12 |
Nevertheless man [being] in honor abideth not: he is like the beasts [that] perish.
|
49:13 |
This their way [is] their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
|
49:14 |
Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.
|
49:15 |
But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
|
49:16 |
Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
|
49:17 |
For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
|
49:18 |
Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and [men] will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
|
49:19 |
He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
|
49:20 |
Man [that is] in honor, and understandeth not, is like the beasts [that] perish.
