Psalm 49
The folly of trusting in riches
Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world
Both low and high, rich and poor, together
My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the
Meditation of my heart shall be of understanding
I will incline mine ear to a parable
I will open my dark saying upon the harp
Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when
The iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
They that trust in their wealth, and boast
Themselves in the multitude of their riches
None of them can by any means redeem his
Brother, nor give to God a ransom for him
For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for
Ever: that he should still live for ever, and not see corruption
For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the
Brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others
Their inward thought is that their houses shall continue
For ever, and their dwelling place to all generations
They call their lands after their own names
Nevertheless man being in honour abideth
Not: he is like the beasts that perish
This their way is their folly: yet their
Posterity approve their sayings. Selah
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 beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling
But God will redeem my soul from the power of
The grave; for he shall receive me. Selah
Be not thou afraid when one is made rich
When the glory of his house is increased
For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away
His glory shall not descend after him
Though while he lived he blessed his soul, and men
Will praise thee when thou doest well to thyself
He shall go to the generation of his
Fathers, they shall never see light
Man that is in honour, and understandeth
Not, is like the beasts that perish
