Psalms, Psalm 49

1 Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,
2 Hear this, all peoples;
2 Both low and high,
Rich and poor together.
3 My mouth will speak wisdom,
And the meditation of my heart will be understanding.
4 I will incline my ear to a proverb;
I willa Lit open upexpress my riddle on the harp.
5 Why should I fear in days of adversity,
When the iniquity of myb Lit supplantersfoes surrounds me,
6 Even those who trust in their wealth
And boast in the abundance of their riches?
7 No man can by any means redeem his brother
Or give to God a ransom for him—
8 For the redemption ofc Lit theirhis soul is costly,
And he should cease trying forever—
9 That he should live on eternally,
That he should notd Or see corruption or the pitundergo decay.
10 For he sees that even wise men die;
The stupid and the senseless alike perish
And leave their wealth to others.
11 Theire Some versions read graves are their housesinner thought is that their houses are forever
And their dwelling places to all generations;
They have called their lands after their own names.
12 But man in hisf Lit honorpomp will not endure;
He is like theg Or animalsbeasts thath Lit are destroyedperish.
13 This is the way of those who are foolish,
And of those after them who approve their words.i Selah may mean: Pause, Crescendo or Musical interludeSelah.
14 As sheep they are appointed forj I.e. the nether worldSheol;
Death shall be their shepherd;
And the upright shall rule over them in the morning,
And their form shall be fork I.e. the nether worldSheol to consume
l Lit Away from his habitationSo that they have no habitation.
15 But God will redeem my soul from them Lit handpower ofn I.e. the nether worldSheol,
For He will receive me. Selah.
16 Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich,
When theo Or wealthglory of his house is increased;
17 For when he dies he will carry nothing away;
Hisp Or wealthglory will not descend after him.
18 Though while he lives he congratulatesq Lit his soulhimself—
And though men praise you when you do well for yourself—
19 r Lit You; or ItHe shall go to the generation of his fathers;
They will never see the light.
20 Man in hiss Lit honorpomp, yet without understanding,
Is like thet Or animalsbeasts thatu Lit are destroyedperish.
