시편 49편 NASB

1. ¹ Hear this all peoples; Give ear all inhabitants of the world
2. ² Both low and high Rich and poor together.
3. ³ My mouth will speak wisdom And the meditation of my heart will be understanding.
4. ⁴ I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will express my riddle on the harp.
5. ⁵ Why should I fear in days of adversity When the iniquity of my foes surrounds me
6. ⁶ Even those who trust in their wealth And boast in the abundance of their riches?
7. ⁷ No man can by any means redeem his brother Or give to God a ransom for him--
8. ⁸ For the redemption of his soul is costly And he should cease trying forever--
9. ⁹ That he should live on eternally That he should not undergo decay.
10. ¹⁰ For he sees that even wise men die; The stupid and the senseless alike perish And leave their wealth to others.
11. ¹¹ Their inner thought is that their houses are forever And their dwelling places to all generations; They have called their lands after their own names.
12. ¹² But man in his pomp will not endure; He is like the beasts that perish.
13. ¹³ This is the way of those who are foolish And of those after them who approve their words. Selah.
14. ¹⁴ As sheep they are appointed for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd; And the upright shall rule over them in the morning And their form shall be for Sheol to consume So that they have no habitation.
15. ¹⁵ But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol For He will receive me. Selah.
16. ¹⁶ Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich When the glory of his house is increased;
17. ¹⁷ For when he dies he will carry nothing away; His glory will not descend after him.
18. ¹⁸ Though while he lives he congratulates himself--And though men praise you when you do well for yourself--
19. ¹⁹ He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They will never see the light.
20. ²⁰ Man in his pomp yet without understanding Is like the beasts that perish.
