2 \\49:1\\To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world: 3 \\49:2\\Both low and high, rich and poor together. 4 \\49:3\\My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding. 5 \\49:4\\I will incline my ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp. 6 \\49:5\\Why should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall encompass me? 7 \\49:6\\They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; 8 \\49:7\\None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: 9 \\49:8\\(For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:) 10 \\49:9\\That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption. 11 \\49:10\\For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others. 12 \\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. 13 \\49:12\\Nevertheless man being in honor abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish. 14 \\49:13\\This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah. 15 \\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. 16 \\49:15\\But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah. 17 \\49:16\\Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; 18 \\49:17\\For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him. 19 \\49:18\\Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself. 20 \\49:19\\He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light. 21 \\49:20\\Man that is in honor, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
