Psalms 49
1 To the Chief Musician. For the Sons of Korah. A Melody. Hear ye, this all ye peoples, Give ear, all ye inhabitants of this passing 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 Both sons of the low, And sons of the high, —Together both rich and needy: —
Both [the] children of humankind as well as [the] children of man alike [the] rich and [the] needy.
3 My mouth, shall speak forth Wisdom, And the soft utterance of my heart be Understanding:
Mouth my it will speak wisdom and [the] meditation of heart my [will be] understanding.
4 I will bend, to a by-word, mine ear, I will open, on the lyre, mine enigma.
I will incline to a proverb ear my I will open with a harp riddle my.
5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of calamity, Though the iniquity of them who lie in wait for me should enclose me?
Why? will I fear in days of trouble [the] iniquity of heels my it surrounds me.
6 As for them who are trusting in their wealth, —And, in the abundance of their riches, do boast themselves,
Those relying on wealth their and in [the] greatness of rich[es] their they boast.
7 A brother, can none of them, redeem, he cannot give unto God a ransom for himself:
A brother not certainly he will ransom anyone not he will give to God ransom his.
8 So costly, is the redemption of their soul, That it faileth unto times age-abiding;
So it may be costly [the] ransom of life their and he will cease for ever.
9 That he should, yet, live on, continually, Should not see corruption.
So he may live still to perpetuity not he will see the pit.
10 For it is seen that, the wise, die, Together with the dullard, and the brutish, do they perish, And leave, to others, their wealth:
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 Their, inward thought, is that their houses are for times age-abiding, Their habitations, for generation after generation, —They give their own names unto 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, a son of earth, though wealthy, cannot tarry, He hath made himself a by-word—Beasts, they resemble:
And humankind in honor not he remains he is like like the animals [which] they are destroyed.
13 This, their way, is a folly to them, And yet, their followers, with their mouth, approve. (Selah)
This [is] way their stupidity [belongs] to them and after them - in mouth their they take delight (Selah)
14 Like sheep—into hades, are they driven, Death shall shepherd them, —And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning, Even their form, is to decay, Hades, is all that remaineth of a habitation for him. (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 redeem my soul, out of the hand of hades, For he will take me. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Surely God he will redeem life my from [the] hand of Sheol for he will take me (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
16 Do not fear, When a man becometh rich, When the glory of his house increaseth;
May not you fear if he will become rich anyone if it will increase [the] honor of house his.
17 For, when he dieth, he shall take, nothing, his glory shall not descend after him;
For not in death his he will take anything not it will go down after him honor his.
18 For, though, his own self—while he lived, he used to bless, And they will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself,
For self his in life his he blessed and people praise you if you will do well to yourself.
19 He shall enter as far as the circle of his fathers, Nevermore, shall they see the light.
It will go to [the] generation of ancestors his until perpetuity not they will see light.
20 A son of earth though wealthy, who discerneth not, Hath made himself a by-word, Beasts, they resemble.
Humankind with honor and not he understands he is like like the animals [which] they are destroyed.
