Psalms 49

¹TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. Hear this, all you peoples, Give ear, all you inhabitants of the world.

²Both low and high, together rich and needy.

³My mouth speaks wise things, And the meditations of my heart are things of understanding.

⁴I incline my ear to an allegory, I open my riddle with a harp:

⁵Why do I fear in days of evil? The iniquity of my supplanters surrounds me.

⁶Those trusting on their wealth, And in the multitude of their riches, Show themselves foolish.

⁷A brother ransoms no one at all, He does not give to God his atonement.

⁸And precious is the redemption of their soul, And it has ceased for all time.

⁹And still he lives forever, He does not see the pit.

¹⁰For he sees wise men die, Together the foolish and brutish perish, And have left their wealth to others.

¹¹Their heart is that their houses are for all time, Their dwelling places from generation to generation. They proclaimed their names over the lands.

¹²And man does not remain in honor, He has been like the beasts, they have been cut off.

¹³This their way is folly for them, And their posterity are pleased with their sayings. Selah.

¹⁴They have set themselves as sheep for Sheol, Death afflicts them, And the upright rule over them in the morning, And their form is for consumption. Sheol is a dwelling for him.

¹⁵Only, God ransoms my soul from the hand of Sheol, For He receives me. Selah.

¹⁶Do not fear when one makes wealth, When the glory of his house is abundant,

¹⁷For at his death he receives nothing, His glory does not go down after him.

¹⁸For he blesses his soul in his life (And they praise you when you do well for yourself).

¹⁹It comes to the generation of his fathers, They do not see the light forever.

²⁰Man in honor, who does not understand, Has been like the beasts, they have been cut off!
