49:1 |
To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Hear this, all ye peoples, Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world.
|
49:2 |
Both low and high, together rich and needy.
|
49:3 |
My mouth speaketh wise things, And the meditations of my heart [are] things of understanding.
|
49:4 |
I incline to a simile mine ear, I open with a harp my riddle:
|
49:5 |
Why do I fear in days of evil? The iniquity of my supplanters doth compass me.
|
49:6 |
Those trusting on their wealth, And in the multitude of their riches, Do shew themselves foolish.
|
49:7 |
A brother doth no one at all ransom, He doth not give to God his atonement.
|
49:8 |
And precious [is] the redemption of their soul, And it hath ceased -- to the age.
|
49:9 |
And still he liveth for ever, He seeth not the pit.
|
49:10 |
For he seeth wise men die, Together the foolish and brutish perish, And have left to others their wealth.
|
49:11 |
Their heart [is]: Their houses [are] to the age, Their tabernacles to all generations. They proclaimed their names over the lands.
|
49:12 |
And man in honour doth not remain, He hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off.
|
49:13 |
This their way [is] folly for them, And their posterity with their sayings are pleased. Selah.
|
49:14 |
As sheep for Sheol they have set themselves, Death doth afflict them, And the upright rule over them in the morning, And their form [is] for consumption. Sheol [is] a dwelling for him.
|
49:15 |
Only, God doth ransom my soul from the hand of Sheol, For He doth receive me. Selah.
|
49:16 |
Fear not, when one maketh wealth, When the honour of his house is abundant,
|
49:17 |
For at his death he receiveth nothing, His honour goeth not down after him.
|
49:18 |
For his soul in his life he blesseth, (And they praise thee when thou dost well for thyself.)
|
49:19 |
It cometh to the generation of his fathers, For ever they see not the light.
|
49:20 |
Man in honour, who understandest not, Hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off!
