Psalms 49

PSALM 49

God shall Ransom my Soul

To the director; [2to the 3sons 4of Korah 1a psalm].

1Hear these things  all   nations! Give ear all the ones dwelling in the inhabitable world -- 2both the earth-born, and the sons   of men together, rich and needy! 3  My mouth speaks wisdom, and the meditation   of my heart understanding. 4I will lean [2to 3a parable   1my ear]; I will open [2with 3a psaltery   1my riddle]. 5Why do I fear in [2day 1the wicked]? The lawlessness   at my heel shall encircle me -- 6the ones yielding upon   their power, even [2upon 3the 4multitude   5of their riches 1the ones boasting]. 7A brother does not ransom. Shall [2ransom 1a man]? He shall not give to  God an appeasement for himself. 8(Even the value of the ransoming   his soul, even if  he labored into the eon.) 9And he shall live till the end, for he should not see corruption. 10Whenever he should behold wise men dying, [5together 1the fool 2and 3the mindless one 4shall perish]; and they shall leave behind [2to strangers   1their riches]. 11And   their tombs are their houses into the eon, and their tents unto generation and generation. They call   [3their names 2after   1lands]. 12And a man [2in 3honor 1being] perceived not; he resembles the [2cattle   1unthinking], and is like them. 13This   their way is an obstacle to them; yet after these things  [2with   3their mouths 1they take pleasure]. 14[2as 3sheep 4in 5Hades 1They placed them]; death tends them; and [3shall dominate 4them 1the 2upright] in the morning; and   their help shall grow old in   Hades; [2from   3their glory 1they were banished]. 15Except   God shall ransom   my soul from out of the hand of Hades, whenever he should take me. 16Do not fear whenever [2should be enriched 1a man], or whenever [4should be multiplied 1the 2glory   3of his house], 17for [2not 5in   6his dying 1he shall 3take   4anything], nor will [2go down with 3him   1his glory]! 18For   his soul [2in   3his life 1shall be blessed]. He shall make acknowledgment to you whenever you should do good to him. 19He shall enter unto the generation of his fathers; unto the eon he shall not see light. 20And a man [2in 3honor 1being] perceived not; he resembles the [2cattle   1unthinking] and is like them.
