Psalms 49:1-20

49:1

<
<To the chief Musician <05329> (8764)_,

A Psalm
<04210>

for the sons
<01121>

of Korah
<07141>.>>

Hear
<08085> (8798)

this, all [ye] people
<05971>_;

give ear
<0238> (8685)_,

all [ye] inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the world
<02465>_:

{for: or, of}

49:2

Both low
<01121> <0120>

and high
<01121> <0376>_,

rich
<06223>

and poor
<034>_,

together
<03162>_.

49:3

My mouth
<06310>

shall speak
<01696> (8762)

of wisdom
<02454>_;

and the meditation
<01900>

of my heart
<03820>

[shall be] of understanding
<08394>_.

49:4

I will incline
<05186> (8686)

mine ear
<0241>

to a parable
<04912>_:

I will open
<06605> (8799)

my dark saying
<02420>

upon the harp
<03658>_.

49:5

Wherefore should I fear
<03372> (8799)

in the days
<03117>

of evil
<07451>_,

[when] the iniquity
<05771>

of my heels
<06120>

shall compass
<05437> (8799)

me about?

49:6

They that trust
<0982> (8802)

in their wealth
<02428>_,

and boast
<01984> (8691)

themselves in the multitude
<07230>

of their riches
<06239>_;

49:7

None [of them] can
<0376>

by any means
<06299> (8800)

redeem
<06299> (8799)

his brother
<0251>_,

nor give
<05414> (8799)

to God
<0430>

a ransom
<03724>

for him:

49:8

(For the redemption
<06306>

of their soul
<05315>

[is] precious
<03365> (8799)_,

and it ceaseth
<02308> (8804)

for ever
<05769>:)

49:9

That he should still live
<02421> (8799)

for ever
<05331>_,

[and] not see
<07200> (8799)

corruption
<07845>_.

49:10

For he seeth
<07200> (8799)

[that] wise men
<02450>

die
<04191> (8799)_,

likewise
<03162>

the fool
<03684>

and the brutish person
<01198>

perish
<06> (8799)_,

and leave
<05800> (8804)

their wealth
<02428>

to others
<0312>_.

49:11

Their inward
<07130>

thought [is, that] their houses
<01004>

[shall continue] for ever
<05769>_,

[and] their dwelling
<04908>

places to all
<01755>

generations
<01755>_;

they call
<07121> (8804)

[their] lands
<0127>

after their own names
<08034>_.

{all...: Heb. generation and generation}

49:12

Nevertheless man
<0120>

[being] in honour
<03366>

abideth
<03885> (8799)

not: he is like
<04911> (8738)

the beasts
<0929>

[that] perish
<01820> (8738)_.

49:13

This their way
<01870>

[is] their folly
<03689>_:

yet their posterity
<0310>

approve
<07521> (8799)

their sayings
<06310>_.

Selah
<05542>_.

{approve...: Heb. delight in their mouth}

49:14

Like sheep
<06629>

they are laid
<08371> (8804)

in the grave
<07585>_;

death
<04194>

shall feed
<07462> (8799)

on them; and the upright
<03477>

shall have dominion
<07287> (8799)

over them in the morning
<01242>_;

and their beauty
<06697> (8675) <06736>

shall consume
<01086> (8763)

in the grave
<07585>

from their dwelling
<02073>_.

{beauty: or, strength} {in the grave from...: or, the grave being an habitation to every one of them}

49:15

But God
<0430>

will redeem
<06299> (8799)

my soul
<05315>

from the power
<03027>

of the grave
<07585>_:

for he shall receive
<03947> (8799)

me. Selah
<05542>_.

{power: Heb. hand} {the grave: or, hell}

49:16

Be not thou afraid
<03372> (8799)

when one
<0376>

is made rich
<06238> (8686)_,

when the glory
<03519>

of his house
<01004>

is increased
<07235> (8799)_;

49:17

For when he dieth
<04194>

he shall carry nothing away
<03947> (8799)_:

his glory
<03519>

shall not descend
<03381> (8799)

after
<0310>

him.

49:18

Though while he lived
<02416>

he blessed
<01288> (8762)

his soul
<05315>_:

and [men] will praise
<03034> (8686)

thee, when thou doest well
<03190> (8686)

to thyself. {while...: Heb. in his life}

49:19

He shall go
<0935> (8799)

to the generation
<01755>

of his fathers
<01>_;

they shall never
<03808> <05331>

see
<07200> (8799)

light
<0216>_.

{He...: Heb. The soul shall}

49:20

Man
<0120>

[that is] in honour
<03366>_,

and understandeth
<0995> (8799)

not, is like
<04911> (8738)

the beasts
<0929>

[that] perish
<01820> (8738)_.
