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