Psalms 49
1 For the music director. A psalm of the sons of Korah. Listen to this, everyone! Pay attention, people of 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 whether you are highborn or lowborn, rich or poor!
Both [the] children of humankind as well as [the] children of man alike [the] rich and [the] needy.
3 For what I say is wise, and my thinking is perceptive.
Mouth my it will speak wisdom and [the] meditation of heart my [will be] understanding.
4 I pay attention to wise sayings; I answer hard questions to a tune on the harp.
I will incline to a proverb ear my I will open with a harp riddle my.
5 Why should I be afraid when trouble comes, when evil enemies surround me?
Why? will I fear in days of trouble [the] iniquity of heels my it surrounds me.
6 They trust in their wealth; they boast about their riches,
Those relying on wealth their and in [the] greatness of rich[es] their they boast.
7 but no one can pay to rescue another from death; no one can pay a ransom to God.
A brother not certainly he will ransom anyone not he will give to God ransom his.
8 Redemption is beyond price; no one could ever pay enough
So it may be costly [the] ransom of life their and he will cease for ever.
9 that they could live forever and not face the grave.
So he may live still to perpetuity not he will see the pit.
10 Everyone knows that the wise die, those who are foolish and stupid too, leaving what they have to the next generation.
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 They think their homes will last forever, that where they live will continue for all generations.
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 human beings, for all their fame, don't understand. They die, just like the animals.
And humankind in honor not he remains he is like like the animals [which] they are destroyed.
13 This is the way of foolish people, yet those who come after them think they were clever! (Selah)
This [is] way their stupidity [belongs] to them and after them - in mouth their they take delight (Selah)
14 Like sheep they are destined for the grave. Death will be their shepherd. Those who live right will rule over them in the morning. Their bodies will decay in the grave, far from their homes. (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 surely God will rescue me from the power of the grave; he will grab me back. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Surely God he will redeem life my from [the] hand of Sheol for he will take me (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
16 Don't be disturbed when people become rich, filling their houses with possessions.
May not you fear if he will become rich anyone if it will increase [the] honor of house his.
17 For they won't take anything with them when they die; their wealth will not go down into the grave with them.
For not in death his he will take anything not it will go down after him honor his.
18 They congratulate themselves for all they possess—people always praise you when you do well—
For self his in life his he blessed and people praise you if you will do well to yourself.
19 but their destiny is the same as their forefathers: they will never again see the light of day.
It will go to [the] generation of ancestors his until perpetuity not they will see light.
20 Human beings, for all their fame, don't understand, and they die, just like the animals.
Humankind with honor and not he understands he is like like the animals [which] they are destroyed.
