Psalm 49 – A Song of Worship and Reflection

Psalm 49

49:1 Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the

world:

49:2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.

49:3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart

shall be of understanding.

49:4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying

upon the harp.

49:5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of

my heels shall compass me about?

49:6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the

multitude of their riches;

49:7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God

a ransom for him:

49:8 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for

ever:)

49:9 That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.

49:10 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the

brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.

49:11 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for

ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their

lands after their own names.

49:12 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the

beasts that perish.

49:13 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their

sayings. Selah.

49:14 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 beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.

49:15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he

shall receive me. Selah.

49:16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his

house is increased;

49:17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall

not descend after him.

49:18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise

thee, when thou doest well to thyself.

49:19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never

see light.

49:20 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts

that perish.
