Psalm 49 - To the chief Musician,
A Psalm for the sons of Korah.

Hear this, all ye people; give ear,
all ye inhabitants of the world:

Both low and high, rich
and poor, together.

My mouth shall speak of wisdom;
and the meditation of my heart

shall be of understanding.

I will incline mine ear to a parable: I
will open my dark saying upon the harp.

Wherefore should I fear in the
days of evil, when the iniquity of

my heels shall compass me about?

They that trust in their wealth,
and boast themselves in the

multitude of their riches;

None of them can by any means redeem his
brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:

[For the redemption of their soul is
precious, and it ceaseth for ever:]

That he should still live for
ever, and not see corruption.

For he seeth that wise men die, likewise
the fool and the brutish person perish,

and leave their wealth to others.

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.

Nevertheless man being in honour abideth
not: he is like the beasts that perish.

This their way is their folly: yet
their posterity approve their sayings.

Selah.

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.

But God will redeem my soul from the power
of the grave: for he shall receive me.

Selah.

Be not thou afraid when one is made
rich, when the glory of his house

is increased; For when he dieth
he shall carry nothing away: his

glory shall not descend after him.

Though while he lived he blessed
his soul: and men will praise thee,

when thou doest well to thyself.

He shall go to the generation of his
fathers; they shall never see light.

Man that is in honour, and understandeth
not, is like the beasts that perish.
