Psalms 49
1 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.
To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. Hear this, all ye peoples; give ear, all inhabitants of the world:
2 Both [the] children of humankind as well as [the] children of man alike [the] rich and [the] needy.
Both men of low and men of high degree, rich and poor alike.
3 Mouth my it will speak wisdom and [the] meditation of heart my [will be] understanding.
My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding:
4 I will incline to a proverb ear my I will open with a harp riddle my.
I will incline mine ear to a parable, I will open my riddle upon the harp.
5 Why? will I fear in days of trouble [the] iniquity of heels my it surrounds me.
Wherefore should I fear in the days of adversity, [when] the iniquity of my supplanters encompasseth me? —
6 Those relying on wealth their and in [the] greatness of rich[es] their they boast.
They depend upon their wealth, and boast themselves in the abundance of their riches. ...
7 A brother not certainly he will ransom anyone not he will give to God ransom his.
None can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him,
8 So it may be costly [the] ransom of life their and he will cease for ever.
(For the redemption of their soul is costly, and must be given up for ever, )
9 So he may live still to perpetuity not he will see the pit.
That he should still live perpetually, [and] not see corruption.
10 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.
For he seeth that wise men die; all alike, the fool and the brutish perish, and they leave their wealth to others.
11 Inner being their houses their - for ever dwelling places their to a generation and a generation they called with names their on lands.
Their inward thought is, that their houses are for ever, their dwelling-places from generation to generation: they call the lands after their own names.
12 And humankind in honor not he remains he is like like the animals [which] they are destroyed.
Nevertheless, man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
13 This [is] way their stupidity [belongs] to them and after them - in mouth their they take delight (Selah)
This their way is their folly, yet they that come after them delight in their sayings. (Selah)
14 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)
Like sheep are they laid in Sheol: Death feedeth on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their comeliness shall be for Sheol to consume, that there be no habitation for them. (Sheol h7585)
15 Surely God he will redeem life my from [the] hand of Sheol for he will take me (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol: for he will receive me. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
16 May not you fear if he will become rich anyone if it will increase [the] honor of house his.
Be not afraid when a man becometh rich, when the glory of his house is increased:
17 For not in death his he will take anything not it will go down after him honor his.
For when he dieth, he shall carry nothing away; his glory shall not descend after him.
18 For self his in life his he blessed and people praise you if you will do well to yourself.
Though he blessed his soul in his lifetime, — and men will praise thee when thou doest well to thyself, —
19 It will go to [the] generation of ancestors his until perpetuity not they will see light.
It shall go to the generation of his fathers: they shall never see light.
20 Humankind with honor and not he understands he is like like the animals [which] they are destroyed.
Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
