Psalms 49:5-13

Webster(i) 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.
