Psalms 49

1 Alamoth. To the chief music-maker. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. Give attention to this, all you peoples; let your ears be open, all you who are living in the world.

To the choirmaster - of [the] sons of Korah a psalm. Hear this O all the peoples give ear O all [the] inhabitants of [the] world.

2 High and low together, the poor, and those who have wealth.

Both [the] children of humankind as well as [the] children of man alike [the] rich and [the] needy.

3 From my mouth will come words of wisdom; and in the thoughts of my heart will be knowledge.

Mouth my it will speak wisdom and [the] meditation of heart my [will be] understanding.

4 I will put my teaching into a story; I will make my dark sayings clear with music.

I will incline to a proverb ear my I will open with a harp riddle my.

5 What cause have I for fear in the days of evil, when the evil-doing of those who are working for my downfall is round about me?

Why? will I fear in days of trouble [the] iniquity of heels my it surrounds me.

6 Even of those whose faith is in their wealth, and whose hearts are lifted up because of their stores.

Those relying on wealth their and in [the] greatness of rich[es] their they boast.

7 Truly, no man may get back his soul for a price, or give to God the payment for himself;

A brother not certainly he will ransom anyone not he will give to God ransom his.

8 (Because it takes a great price to keep his soul from death, and man is not able to give it.)

So it may be costly [the] ransom of life their and he will cease for ever.

9 So that he might have eternal life, and never see the underworld.

So he may live still to perpetuity not he will see the pit.

10 For he sees that wise men come to their end, and foolish persons of low behaviour come to destruction together, letting their wealth go to others.

For anyone will see - wise [people] they die alike a fool and a stupid [person] they perish and they leave to other [people] wealth their.

11 The place of the dead is their house for ever, and their resting-place through all generations; those who come after them give their names to their lands.

Inner being their houses their - for ever dwelling places their to a generation and a generation they called with names their on lands.

12 But man, like the animals, does not go on for ever; he comes to an end like the beasts.

And humankind in honor not he remains he is like like the animals [which] they are destroyed.

13 This is the way of the foolish; their silver is for those who come after them, and their children get the pleasure of their gold. (Selah)

This [is] way their stupidity [belongs] to them and after them - in mouth their they take delight (Selah)

14 Death will give them their food like sheep; the underworld is their fate and they will go down into it; their flesh is food for worms; their form is wasted away; the underworld is their resting-place for ever. (Sheol h7585)

Like sheep - for Sheol they have been appointed death it will shepherd them and they ruled over them upright [people] - to the morning (and form their *Q(K)*) [is] for [the] consuming of Sheol from lofty abode of him. (Sheol h7585)

15 But God will get back my soul; for he will take me from the power of death. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)

Surely God he will redeem life my from [the] hand of Sheol for he will take me (Selah) (Sheol h7585)

16 Have no fear when wealth comes to a man, and the glory of his house is increased;

May not you fear if he will become rich anyone if it will increase [the] honor of house his.

17 For at his death, he will take nothing away; his glory will not go down after him.

For not in death his he will take anything not it will go down after him honor his.

18 Though he might have pride in his soul in his life-time, and men will give you praise if you do well for yourself,

For self his in life his he blessed and people praise you if you will do well to yourself.

19 He will go to the generation of his fathers; he will not see the light again.

It will go to [the] generation of ancestors his until perpetuity not they will see light.

20 Man, like the animals, does not go on for ever; he comes to an end like the beasts.

Humankind with honor and not he understands he is like like the animals [which] they are destroyed.
