Psalms 49:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 For the music director, a psalm by the Korahites. Listen to this, all you nations! Pay attention, all you inhabitants of the world!
2 Pay attention, all you people, both rich and poor!
3 I will declare a wise saying; I will share my profound thoughts.
4 I will learn a song that imparts wisdom; I will then sing my insightful song to the accompaniment of a harp.
5 Why should I be afraid in times of trouble, when the sinful deeds of deceptive men threaten to overwhelm me?
6 They trust in their wealth and boast in their great riches.
7 Certainly a man cannot rescue his brother; he cannot pay God an adequate ransom price
8 (the ransom price for a human life is too high, and people go to their final destiny),
9 so that he might continue to live forever and not experience death.
10 Surely one sees that even wise people die; fools and spiritually insensitive people all pass away and leave their wealth to others.
11 Their grave becomes their permanent residence, their eternal dwelling place. They name their lands after themselves,
12 but, despite their wealth, people do not last, they are like animals that perish.
13 This is the destiny of fools, and of those who approve of their philosophy. (Selah)
14 They will travel to Sheol like sheep, with death as their shepherd. The godly will rule over them when the day of vindication dawns; Sheol will consume their bodies and they will no longer live in impressive houses.
15 But God will rescue my life from the power of Sheol; certainly he will pull me to safety. (Selah)
16 Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich and his wealth multiplies!
17 For he will take nothing with him when he dies; his wealth will not follow him down into the grave.
18 He pronounces this blessing on himself while he is alive: "May men praise you, for you have done well!"
19 But he will join his ancestors; they will never again see the light of day.
20 Wealthy people do not understand; they are like animals that perish.
1 To the chief Musician, H5329 A Psalm H4210 for the sons H1121 of Korah. H7141 Hear H8085 this, H2063 all H3605 ye people; H5971 give ear, H238 all H3605 ye inhabitants H3427 of the world: H2465
2 Both H1571 low H120 and H1571 high, H376 rich H6223 and poor, H34 together. H3162
3 My mouth H6310 shall speak H1696 of wisdom; H2454 and the meditation H1900 of my heart H3820 shall be of understanding. H8394
4 I will incline H5186 mine ear H241 to a parable: H4912 I will open H6605 my dark saying H2420 upon the harp. H3658
5 Wherefore H4100 should I fear H3372 in the days H3117 of evil, H7451 when the iniquity H5771 of my heels H6119 shall compass me about H5437 ?
6 They that trust H982 in H5921 their wealth, H2428 and boast themselves H1984 in the multitude H7230 of their riches; H6239
7 None H3808 of them can by any means H6299 redeem H6299 his brother, H251 nor H3808 give H5414 to God H430 a ransom H3724 for him:
8 (For the redemption H6306 of their soul H5315 is precious, H3365 and it ceaseth H2308 forever: H5769 )
9 That he should still H5750 live H2421 forever, H5331 and not H3808 see H7200 corruption. H7845
10 For H3588 he seeth H7200 that wise men H2450 die, H4191 likewise H3162 the fool H3684 and the brutish person H1198 perish, H6 and leave H5800 their wealth H2428 to others. H312
11 Their inward thought H7130 is, that their houses H1004 shall continue forever, H5769 and their dwelling places H4908 to all generations H1755 H1755 ; they call H712 H5921 their lands H127 after their own names. H8034
12 Nevertheless man H120 being in honor H3366 abideth H3885 not: H1077 he is like H4911 the beasts H929 that perish. H1820
13 This H2088 their way H1870 is their folly: H3689 yet their posterity H310 approve H7521 their sayings. H6310 Selah. H5542
14 Like sheep H6629 they are laid H8371 in the grave; H7585 death H4194 shall feed H7462 on them ; and the upright H3477 shall have dominion H7287 over them in the morning; H1242 and their beauty H6697 shall consume H1086 in the grave H7585 from their dwelling H4480 H2073 .
15 But H389 God H430 will redeem H6299 my soul H5315 from the power H4480 H3027 of the grave: H7585 for H3588 he shall receive H3947 me. Selah. H5542
16 Be not H408 thou afraid H3372 when H3588 one H376 is made rich, H6238 when H3588 the glory H3519 of his house H1004 is increased; H7235
17 For when H3588 he dieth H4194 he shall carry H3947 nothing H3808 H3605 away : his glory H3519 shall not H3808 descend H3381 after H310 him.
18 Though H3588 while he lived H2416 he blessed H1288 his soul: H5315 and men will praise H3034 thee, when H3588 thou doest well H3190 to thyself.
19 He shall go H935 to H5704 the generation H1755 of his fathers; H1 they shall never H5704 H5331 H3808 see H7200 light. H216
20 Man H120 that is in honor, H3366 and understandeth H995 not, H3808 is like H4911 the beasts H929 that perish. H1820
