Chapter 49

1


 

  To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Hear this, all ye peoples, Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world.  

 

 

--

2


 

  Both low and high, together rich and needy.  

 

 

--

3


 

  My mouth speaketh wise things, And the meditations of my heart [are] things of understanding.  

 

 

--

4


 

  I incline to a simile mine ear, I open with a harp my riddle:  

 

 

--

5


 

  Why do I fear in days of evil? The iniquity of my supplanters doth compass me.  

 

 

--

6


 

  Those trusting on their wealth, And in the multitude of their riches, Do shew themselves foolish.  

 

 

--

7


 

  A brother doth no one at all ransom, He doth not give to God his atonement.  

 

 

--

8


 

  And precious [is] the redemption of their soul, And it hath ceased -- to the age.  

 

 

--

9


 

  And still he liveth for ever, He seeth not the pit.  

 

 

--

10


 

  For he seeth wise men die, Together the foolish and brutish perish, And have left to others their wealth.  

 

 

--

11


 

  Their heart [is]: Their houses [are] to the age, Their tabernacles to all generations. They proclaimed their names over the lands.  

 

 

--

12


 

  And man in honour doth not remain, He hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off.  

 

 

--

13


 

  This their way [is] folly for them, And their posterity with their sayings are pleased. Selah.  

 

 

--

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.  

 

 

--

15


 

  Only, God doth ransom my soul from the hand of Sheol, For He doth receive me. Selah.  

 

 

--

16


 

  Fear not, when one maketh wealth, When the honour of his house is abundant,  

 

 

--

17


 

  For at his death he receiveth nothing, His honour goeth not down after him.  

 

 

--

18


 

  For his soul in his life he blesseth, (And they praise thee when thou dost well for thyself.)  

 

 

--

19


 

  It cometh to the generation of his fathers, For ever they see not the light.  

 

 

--

20


 

  Man in honour, who understandest not, Hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off!
