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