Psalms 49 Psalms 49:1 Hear this, all you people; give ear, all you inhabitants of the world: Psalms 49:2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together. Psalms 49:3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding. Psalms 49:4 I will incline my ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying on the harp. Psalms 49:5 Why should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about? Psalms 49:6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; Psalms 49:7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: Psalms 49:8 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceases for ever:) Psalms 49:9 That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption. Psalms 49:10 For he sees that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others. Psalms 49:11 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. Psalms 49:12 Nevertheless man being in honor stays not: he is like the beasts that perish. Psalms 49:13 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah. Psalms 49:14 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. Psalms 49:15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah. Psalms 49:16 Be not you afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; Psalms 49:17 For when he dies he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him. Psalms 49:18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise you, when you do well to yourself. Psalms 49:19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light. Psalms 49:20 Man that is in honor, and understands not, is like the beasts that perish.
