Hear this, all [ye] people; give ear, all [ye] inhabitants of the world: 2Both low and high, rich and poor together. 3My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart [shall be] of understanding. 4I will incline my ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp. 5Why should I fear in the days of evil, [when] the iniquity of my heels shall encompass me? 6They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; 7None [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:) 9That he should still live for ever, [and] not see corruption. 10For he seeth [that] wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others. 11Their 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. 12Nevertheless man [being] in honor abideth not: he is like the beasts [that] perish. 13This their way [is] their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah. 14Like 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. 15But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah. 16Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; 17For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him. 18Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and [men] will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself. 19He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light. 20Man [that is] in honor, and understandeth not, is like the beasts [that] perish. ‹Previous chapterPsalms 48Next chapterPsalms 50›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsPsalms 49 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
