Psalm 49

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

{Psalms 49:1} Hear this, all [ye] people; give ear, all [ye] 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 mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 49:5} Wherefore 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 ceaseth for ever:) ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 49:9} That he should still live for ever, [and] not see corruption. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 49:10} For he seeth [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 honour abideth 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 thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 49:17} For when he dieth 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 thee, when thou doest well to thyself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 49:19} He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 49:20} Man [that is] in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts [that] perish.
