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

 

 

--

5


 

  Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, [when] the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?  

 

 

--

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 honour 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 honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts [that] perish.
