Psalm 49:1 {To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.} Hear8085 this, all ye people;5971 give ear,238 all ye inhabitants3427 of the world:2465 cr 2 Both low1121 120 and high,1121 376 rich6223 and poor,34 together.3162 cr 3 My mouth6310 shall speak1696 of wisdom;2454 and the meditation1900 of my heart3820 shall be of understanding.8394 cr 4 I will incline5186 mine ear241 to a parable:4912 I will open6605 my dark saying2420 upon the harp.3658 cr 5 Wherefore should I fear3372 in the days3117 of evil,7451 when the iniquity5771 of my heels6120 shall compass5437 me about? cr 6 They that trust982 in their wealth,2428 and boast1984 themselves in the multitude7230 of their riches;6239 cr 7 None of them can376 by any means6299 redeem6299 his brother,251 nor give5414 to God430 a ransom3724 for him: cr 8 (For the redemption6306 of their soul5315 is precious,3365 and it ceaseth2308 for ever:)5769 cr 9 That he should still live2421 for ever,5331 and not see7200 corruption.7845 cr 10 For he seeth7200 that wise men2450 die,4191 likewise3162 the fool3684 and the brutish person1198 perish,6 and leave5800 their wealth2428 to others.312 cr 11 Their inward7130 thought is, that their houses1004 shall continue for ever,5769 and their dwelling4908 places to all1755 generations;1755{Heb. to generation and generation} they call7121 their lands127 after their own names.8034 cr 12 Nevertheless man120 being in honour3366 abideth3885 not: he is like4911 the beasts929 that perish.1820 cr 13 This their way1870 is their folly:3689 yet their posterity310 approve7521 their sayings.6310{Heb. delight in their mouth} Selah.5542 cr 14 Like sheep6629 they are laid8371 in the grave;7585 death4194 shall feed7462 on them; and the upright3477 shall have dominion7287 over them in the morning;1242 and their beauty6697 6736{Or, strength} shall consume1086 in the grave7585 from their dwelling.2073{Or, the grave being an habitation to every one of them} cr 15 But God430 will redeem6299 my soul5315 from the power3027{Heb. from the hand of the grave} of the grave:7585{Or, hell} for he shall receive3947 me.
