Psalms - Chapter: 49

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

 

49:1To the chaunter, a Psalme for the chyldren of Corah. O heare this, all ye people: pondre it with your eares, all ye that dwell in the worlde.
49:2Hye and lowe, ryche and poore, one wyth another:
49:3My mouth shall speake of wysdome, and my hert shall muse of vnderstandyng.
49:4I wyll enclyne myne eare to the parable, and shew my darcke speach vpon the harpe.
49:5Wherfore shulde I feare in the dayes of wyckednesse, and when the wyckednesse of my heles compaseth me round about?
49:6There be some that put theyr in trust their goodes, & boast them selues in the multitude of theyr ryches.
49:7But no man maye delyuer hys brother, ner make agrement vnto God for hym.
49:8For it costeth more to redeme theyr soules, so that he must let that alone for euer.
49:9Yee, though he lyue longe, and se nat the graue.
49:10For he seeth, that wyse men also dye, and peryshe together, as well as the ignoraunt & folysh, and leaue theyr ryches for other:
49:11And yet they thynke, that theyr houses shall continue for euer, and that theyr dwelling places shall endure from one generacyon to another, & call the landes after theyr awne names.
49:12Neuerthelesse, man wyll not abyde in honour, seyng he maye be compared vnto the beastes that peryshe: this is the waye of them.
49:13Thys is their folyshnesse, and their posterite prayse their sayeng. Sela.
49:14They lye in the hell lyke shepe, death gnaweth vpon them, and the ryghteous shall haue dominacyon of them in the mornynge: theyr bewtye shall consume in the sepulchre out of theyr dwellynge.
49:15But God shall delyuer my soule from the place of hell, for he shall receaue me. Sela.
49:16Be not thou afrayed though one be made ryche, or yf the glory of hys house be increased.
49:17For he shall cary nothyng awaye with hym when he dyeth, nether shall hys pompe folowe hym:
49:18For whyle he lyued, he counted hymselfe an happye man: and so longe as thou doest well vnto thy selfe, men wyll speake good of the.
49:19He shall folowe the generacyons of hys fathers, and shall neuer se lyght.
49:20Man beynge in honoure hath no vnderstandyng, but is compared vnto the beastes, that peryshe.
