Psalms 49 To the director; a psalm to the sons of Korah.

0 G1519 To G3588 the G5056 director; G3588 [²to the G5207 ³sons G* ⁴of Korah G5568 ¹a psalm].

1 G191 Hear G3778 these things G3956 all G3588 G1484 nations! G1801 Give ear G3956 all G3588 the ones G2730 dwelling G3588 in the G3611 inhabitable world --

2 G3739 both the G5037 G1093.1 earth-born, G2532 and G3588 the G5207 sons G3588 G444 of men G2009.1 together, G4145 rich G2532 and G3993 needy!

3 G3588 G4750 My mouth G1473 G2980 speaks G4678 wisdom, G2532 and G3588 the G3191.1 meditation G3588 G2588 of my heart G1473 G4907 understanding.

4 G2827 I will lean G1519 [²to G3850 ³a parable G3588 G3775 ¹my ear]; G1473 G455 I will open G1722 [²with G5568.1 ³a psaltery G3588 G4265.1 ¹my riddle]. G1473

5 G2444 Why G5399 do I fear G1722 in G2250 [²day G4190 ¹ the wicked]? G3588 The G458 lawlessness G3588 G4418 at my heel G1473 G2944 shall encircle G1473 me --

6 G3588 the ones G3982 yielding G1909 upon G3588 G1411 their power, G1473 G2532 even G1909 [²upon G3588 ³the G4128 ⁴multitude G3588 G4149 ⁵of their riches G1473 G2744 ¹ the ones boasting].

7 G80 A brother G3756 does not G3084 ransom. G3084 Shall [²ransom G444 ¹a man]? G3756 He shall not G1325 give G3588 to G2316 God G1837.3 an appeasement G1438 for himself.

8 G2532 (Even G3588 the G5092 value G3588 of the G3085 ransoming G3588 G5590 his soul, G1473 G2532 even if G2872 he labored G1519 into G3588 the G165 eon.)

9 G2532 And G2198 he shall live G1519 till G5056 the end, G3754 for G3756 he should not G3708 see G2704.1 corruption.

10 G3752 Whenever G1492 he should behold G4680 wise men G599 dying, G2009.1 [⁵together G878 ¹ the fool G2532 ²and G462.1 ³ the mindless one G622 ⁴shall perish]; G2532 and G2641 they shall leave behind G245 [²to strangers G3588 G4149 ¹their riches]. G1473

11 G2532 And G3588 G5028 their tombs G1473 G3614 are their houses G1473 G1519 into G3588 the G165 eon, G4638 and their tents G1473 G1519 unto G1074 generation G2532 and G1074 generation. G1941 They call G3588 G3686 [³their names G1473 G1909 ²after G3588 G1049.2 ¹lands].

12 G2532 And G444 a man G1722 [²in G5092 ³honor G1510.6 ¹being] G3756 perceived not; G4920 G3904.2 he resembles G3588 the G2934 [²cattle G3588 G453 ¹unthinking], G2532 and G3666 is like G1473 them.

13 G3778 This G3588 G3598 their way G1473 G4625 is an obstacle G1473 to them; G2532 yet G3326 after G3778 these things G1722 [²with G3588 G4750 ³their mouths G1473 G2106 ¹they take pleasure].

14 G5613 [²as G4263 ³sheep G1722 ⁴in G86 ⁵Hades G5087 ¹They placed them]; G2288 death G4165 tends G1473 them; G2532 and G2634 [³shall dominate G1473 ⁴them G3588 ¹the G2117 ²upright] G4404 in the morning; G2532 and G3588 G996 their help G1473 G3822 shall grow old G1722 in G3588 G86 Hades; G1537 [²from G3588 G1391 ³their glory G1473 G1856 ¹they were banished].

15 G4133 Except G3588 G2316 God G3084 shall ransom G3588 G5590 my soul G1473 G1537 from out of G5495 the hand G86 of Hades, G3752 whenever G2983 he should take G1473 me.

16 G3361 Do not G5399 fear G3752 whenever G4147 [²should be enriched G444 ¹a man], G2228 or G3752 whenever G4129 [⁴should be multiplied G3588 ¹the G1391 ²glory G3588 G3624 ³of his house], G1473

17 G3754 for G3756 [²not G1722 ⁵in G3588 G599 ⁶his dying G1473 G2983 ¹he shall ³take G3588 G3956 ⁴anything], G3761 nor G4782 will [²go down with G1473 ³him G3588 G1391 ¹his glory]! G1473

18 G3754 For G3588 G5590 his soul G1473 G1722 [²in G3588 G2222 ³his life G1473 G2127 ¹shall be blessed]. G1843 He shall make acknowledgment G1473 to you G3752 whenever G18.2 you should do good G1473 to him.

19 G1525 He shall enter G2193 unto G1074 the generation G3962 of his fathers; G1473 G2193 unto G165 the eon G3756 he shall not G3708 see G5457 light.

20 G2532 And G444 a man G1722 [²in G5092 ³honor G1510.6 ¹being] G3756 perceived not; G4920 G3904.2 he resembles G3588 the G2934 [²cattle G3588 G453 ¹unthinking] G2532 and G3666 is like G1473 them.

Geneva⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To him that excelleth. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. Heare this, all ye people: giue eare, all ye that dwell in the world, ² As well lowe as hie, both rich and poore. ³ My mouth shall speake of wisdome, and the meditation of mine heart is of knowledge. ⁴ I will incline mine eare to a parable, and vtter my graue matter vpon the harpe. ⁵ Wherefore should I feare in the euil dayes, when iniquitie shall compasse me about, as at mine heeles? ⁶ They trust in their goods, and boast them selues in the multitude of their riches. ⁷ Yet a man can by no meanes redeeme his brother: he can not giue his raunsome to God, ⁸ (So precious is the redemption of their soules, and the continuance for euer) ⁹ That he may liue still for euer, and not see the graue. ¹⁰ For he seeth that wise men die, and also that the ignorant and foolish perish, and leaue their riches for others. ¹¹ Yet they thinke, their houses, and their habitations shall continue for euer, euen from generation to generation, and call their lands by their names. ¹² But man shall not continue in honour: he is like the beastes that die. ¹³ This their way vttereth their foolishnes: yet their posteritie delite in their talke. Selah. ¹⁴ Like sheepe they lie in graue: death deuoureth them, and the righteous shall haue domination ouer them in the morning: for their beautie shall consume, when they shall goe from their house to graue. ¹⁵ But God shall deliuer my soule from the power of the graue: for he will receiue me. Selah. ¹⁶ Be not thou afrayd when one is made rich, and when the glory of his house is increased. ¹⁷ For he shall take nothing away when he dieth, neither shall his pompe descende after him. ¹⁸ For while he liued, he reioyced himselfe: and men will prayse thee, when thou makest much of thy selfe. ¹⁹ He shall enter into the generation of his fathers, and they shall not liue for euer. ²⁰ Man is in honour, and vnderstandeth not: he is like to beasts that perish.

Bishops⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Heare this all ye people: geue eare all ye that dwell in the worlde ² As well lowe as high: riche and poore, one with another ³ My mouth shall vtter wisdome: the cogitations of myne heart [wyll bryng foorth] knowledge ⁴ I wyll encline myne eare to a parable: I wyll open my darke sentence vpon a harpe ⁵ Wherfore shoulde I feare in euyll dayes? the wickednesse of my heeles [then] would compasse me round about ⁶ There be some that put their trust in their goodes: and boast them selues in the multitude of their riches ⁷ But no man at all can redeeme his brother: nor geue a raunsome vnto God for hym ⁸ (49:8a) For the redemption of their soule is very costly, and must be let alone for euer ⁹ (49:8b) yea though he lyue long and see not the graue ¹⁰ (49:9) For he seeth that wyse men dye: and that the foole and ignoraunt perishe together, and leaue their riches for other ¹¹ (49:10) And yet they thynke that their houses shall continue for euer, and that their dwellyng places shall endure from one generation to another: [therfore] they call landes after their owne names ¹² (49:11) Neuerthelesse, man can not abyde in [such] honour: he is but lyke vnto bruite beastes that perishe ¹³ (49:12) This their way is their foolishnesse: yet their posteritie prayse their saying. Selah ¹⁴ (49:13) They shalbe put into a graue [dead] as a sheepe, death shall feede on them: but the ryghteous shall haue dominion of them in the mornyng, their beautie shall consume away, hell [shall receaue them] from their house ¹⁵ (49:14) But God wyll delyuer my soule from the place of hell: for he wyll receaue me. Selah ¹⁶ (49:15) Be not thou afrayde though one be made riche: or yf the glorie of his house be encreased ¹⁷ (49:16) For he shall cary nothyng away with hym when he dyeth: neither shall his pompe folowe after hym ¹⁸ (49:17) For whyle he lyued he counted him selfe an happy man: and so long as thou doest well vnto thy selfe, men wyll speake good of thee ¹⁹ (49:18) But he shal folowe the generations of his fathers: and shall neuer see lyght ²⁰ (49:19) A man is in an honourable state, but he wyll not vnderstande it: he is lyke [herein] vnto bruite beastes that perishe

1 H5329 To the chief Musician [H8764] H4210 , A Psalm H1121 for the sons H7141 of Korah H8085 . Hear [H8798] H5971 this, all ye people H238 ; give ear [H8685] H3427 , all ye inhabitants [H8802] H2465 of the world:

2 H1121 Both low H120 H1121 and high H376 H6223 , rich H34 and poor H3162 , together.

3 H6310 My mouth H1696 shall speak [H8762] H2454 of wisdom H1900 ; and the meditation H3820 of my heart H8394 shall be of understanding.

4 H5186 I will incline [H8686] H241 mine ear H4912 to a parable H6605 : I will open [H8799] H2420 my dark saying H3658 upon the harp.

5 H3372 Wherefore should I fear [H8799] H3117 in the days H7451 of evil H5771 , when the iniquity H6120 of my heels H5437 shall compass [H8799] me about?

6 H982 They that trust [H8802] H2428 in their wealth H1984 , and boast [H8691] H7230 themselves in the multitude H6239 of their riches;

7 H376 None of them can H6299 by any means [H8800] H6299 redeem [H8799] H251 his brother H5414 , nor give [H8799] H430 to God H3724 a ransom for him:

8 H6306 (For the redemption H5315 of their soul H3365 is precious [H8799] H2308 , and it ceaseth [H8804] H5769 for ever:)

9 H2421 That he should still live [H8799] H5331 for ever H7200 , and not see [H8799] H7845 corruption.

10 H7200 For he seeth [H8799] H2450 that wise men H4191 die [H8799] H3162 , likewise H3684 the fool H1198 and the brutish person H6 perish [H8799] H5800 , and leave [H8804] H2428 their wealth H312 to others.

11 H7130 Their inward H1004 thought is, that their houses H5769 shall continue for ever H4908 , and their dwelling H1755 places to all H1755 generations H7121 ; they call [H8804] H127 their lands H8034 after their own names.

12 H120 Nevertheless man H3366 being in honour H3885 abideth [H8799] H4911 not: he is like [H8738] H929 the beasts H1820 that perish [H8738] .

13 H1870 This their way H3689 is their folly H310 : yet their posterity H7521 approve [H8799] H6310 their sayings H5542 . Selah.

14 H6629 Like sheep H8371 they are laid [H8804] H7585 in the grave H4194 ; death H7462 shall feed [H8799] H3477 on them; and the upright H7287 shall have dominion [H8799] H1242 over them in the morning H6697 ; and their beauty [H8675] H6736 H1086 shall consume [H8763] H7585 in the grave H2073 from their dwelling.

15 H430 But God H6299 will redeem [H8799] H5315 my soul H3027 from the power H7585 of the grave H3947 : for he shall receive [H8799] H5542 me. Selah.

16 H3372 Be not thou afraid [H8799] H376 when one H6238 is made rich [H8686] H3519 , when the glory H1004 of his house H7235 is increased [H8799] ;

17 H4194 For when he dieth H3947 he shall carry nothing away [H8799] H3519 : his glory H3381 shall not descend [H8799] H310 after him.

18 H2416 Though while he lived H1288 he blessed [H8762] H5315 his soul H3034 : and men will praise [H8686] H3190 thee, when thou doest well [H8686] to thyself.

19 H935 He shall go [H8799] H1755 to the generation H1 of his fathers H3808 ; they shall never H5331 H7200 see [H8799] H216 light.

20 H120 Man H3366 that is in honour H995 , and understandeth [H8799] H4911 not, is like [H8738] H929 the beasts H1820 that perish [H8738] .

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To the Overseer. --By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Hear this, all ye peoples, Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world. ² Both low and high, together rich and needy. ³ My mouth speaketh wise things, And the meditations of my heart are things of understanding. ⁴ I incline to a simile mine ear, I open with a harp my riddle: ⁵ Why do I fear in days of evil? The iniquity of my supplanters doth compass me.
⁶ Those trusting on their wealth, And in the multitude of their riches, Do shew themselves foolish. ⁷ A brother doth no one at all ransom, He doth not give to God his atonement. ⁸ And precious is the redemption of their soul, And it hath ceased--to the age. ⁹ And still he liveth for ever, He seeth not the pit. ¹⁰ For he seeth wise men die, Together the foolish and brutish perish, And have left to others their wealth. ¹¹ Their heart is : Their houses are to the age, Their tabernacles to all generations. They proclaimed their names over the lands. ¹² And man in honour doth not remain, He hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off. ¹³ This their way is folly for them, And their posterity with their sayings are pleased. Selah. ¹⁴ As sheep for Sheol they have set themselves, Death doth afflict them, And the upright rule over them in the morning, And their form is for consumption. Sheol is a dwelling for him.
¹⁵ Only, God doth ransom my soul from the hand of Sheol, For He doth receive me. Selah. ¹⁶ Fear not, when one maketh wealth, When the honour of his house is abundant, ¹⁷ For at his death he receiveth nothing, His honour goeth not down after him. ¹⁸ For his soul in his life he blesseth, (And they praise thee when thou dost well for thyself.) ¹⁹ It cometh to the generation of his fathers, For ever they see not the light. ²⁰ Man in honour, who understandest not, Hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off!

ASV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Hear this, all ye peoples; Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world, ² Both low and high, Rich and poor together. ³ My mouth shall speak 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 iniquity at my heels compasseth 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 life is costly, And it faileth for ever;) ⁹ That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption. ¹⁰ For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike 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 But man being in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish. ¹³ This their way is their folly: Yet after them men approve their sayings. Selah ¹⁴ They are appointed as a flock for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd; And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, That there be no habitation for it. ¹⁵ But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol; For he will 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 praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself,) ¹⁹ He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see the light. ²⁰ Man that is in honor, and understandeth not, Is like the beasts that perish. Psalm 50 A Psalm of Asaph.
