Psalms 49

<< Psalms 49 >>
King James Bible with Strong's Numbers
 

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

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 God 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

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 God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave for he shall receive me Selah

16 Be not thou 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 thee when thou 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 understandeth not is like the beasts that perish
