Chapter 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:  

 

 

-

2


 

  Both low and high, rich and poor together.  

 

 

-

3


 

  My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.  

 

 

-

4


 

  I will incline my ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.  

 

 

-

5


 

  Why should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall encompass me?  

 

 

-

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 soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)  

 

 

-

9


 

  That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.  

 

 

-

10


 

  For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person 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


 

  Nevertheless man being in honor abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.  

 

 

-

13


 

  This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.  

 

 

-

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.  

 

 

-

15


 

  But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall 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 will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.  

 

 

-

19


 

  He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.  

 

 

-

20


 

  Man that is in honor, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
