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.
Hear this, all you people; give ear, all you inhabitants of the world:
2 Both [the] children of humankind as well as [the] children of man alike [the] rich and [the] needy.
Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
3 Mouth my it will speak wisdom and [the] meditation of heart my [will be] understanding.
My mouth shall speak of 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 my ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying on the harp.
5 Why? will I fear in days of trouble [the] iniquity of heels my it surrounds me.
Why should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
6 Those relying on wealth their and in [the] greatness of rich[es] their they boast.
They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
7 A brother not certainly he will ransom anyone not he will give to God ransom his.
None of them 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 precious, and it ceases for ever: )
9 So he may live still to perpetuity not he will see the pit.
That he should still live for ever, 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 sees that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and 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 shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their 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 honor stays 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 their posterity approve 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 they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling. (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 the grave: for he shall 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 you afraid when one is made 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 dies 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 while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise you, when you do well to yourself.
19 It will go to [the] generation of ancestors his until perpetuity not they will see light.
He 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 honor, and understands not, is like the beasts that perish.
