PSALM XLIX.
1 An earnest persuasion to build the faith of
the resurrection, not on worldly power, but
on God. 16 Wordly prosperity is not to be
admired.
¶2; To the chief Musician, A Psalm note for
the sons of Korah.
1 Hear this, all ye people; give ear,
all ye inhabitants of the world:
2 Both low and high, rich and poor
together.
3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom;
and the meditation of my heart shall be
of understanding.
4 noteI will incline my ear to a parable:
I will open my dark saying upon the
harp.
5 Why should I fear in the days of
evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall
encompass me?
6 They that trust in their wealth, and
boast themselves in the multitude of their
riches;
7 None of them can by any means redeem
his brother, nor give to God a ransom
for him:
8 (For the redemption of their soul is
precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
9 That he should still live for ever,
and not see corruption.
10 For he seeth that wise men die,
likewise the fool and the brutish person
perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11 Their inward thought is, that their
houses shall continue for ever, and their
dwelling places note to all generations; they
call their lands after their own names.
12 Nevertheless man being in honor
abideth not: he is like the beasts that
perish.
13 This their way is their folly: yet
their posterity note approve their sayings.
Selah.
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 note beauty
shall consume note in the grave from their
dwelling.
15 But God will redeem my soul note
from the power of note the grave: for he
shall receive me. Selah.
16 Be not thou afraid when one is
made rich, when the glory of his house
is increased;
17 noteFor when he dieth he shall carry
nothing away: his glory shall not descend
after him.
18 Though note while he lived he blessed
his soul: and men will praise thee, when
thou doest well to thyself.
19 noteHe shall go to the generation of
his fathers; they shall never see light.
20 Man that is in honor, and understandeth
not, is like the beasts that perish.
