Psalms 49

1 You people of all ethnic groups, listen! You people all over the world,

To the choirmaster - of [the] sons of Korah a psalm. Hear this O all the peoples give ear O all [the] inhabitants of [the] world.

2 important people and unimportant people, rich people and poor people, everyone, [listen to what I am saying],

Both [the] children of humankind as well as [the] children of man alike [the] rich and [the] needy.

3 [because] what I am thinking is very sensible, and what I say will enable you to become wise!

Mouth my it will speak wisdom and [the] meditation of heart my [will be] understanding.

4 I think about [MTY] (proverbs/wise sayings), and while I play my harp, I explain what they mean.

I will incline to a proverb ear my I will open with a harp riddle my.

5 I am not [RHQ] afraid when I am in trouble/danger, when I am surrounded by my enemies,

Why? will I fear in days of trouble [the] iniquity of heels my it surrounds me.

6 by evil men who trust that [things will always go well for them because] they are wealthy, and who boast about being very rich.

Those relying on wealth their and in [the] greatness of rich[es] their they boast.

7 [They may be rich], but no one can pay money with the result that he would live forever! No one can pay God enough so that God will allow him [to continue] to live,

A brother not certainly he will ransom anyone not he will give to God ransom his.

8 because that cost is too great, and he will never be able to pay enough

So it may be costly [the] ransom of life their and he will cease for ever.

9 with the result that he will live forever and never [die and] be buried!

So he may live still to perpetuity not he will see the pit.

10 We see that foolish and stupid people die, but we see that wise people also die; they all leave their wealth, and others inherit it.

For anyone will see - wise [people] they die alike a fool and a stupid [person] they perish and they leave to other [people] wealth their.

11 Those wise people once had [houses on] land that they owned, [but now] their graves are their homes forever, the place where they will stay for all time!

Inner being their houses their - for ever dwelling places their to a generation and a generation they called with names their on lands.

12 Even if people are great, that cannot prevent them from dying; all people die, the same as animals do.

And humankind in honor not he remains he is like like the animals [which] they are destroyed.

13 That is what happens to those who foolishly trust [in what they have accomplished], to those who are delighted in [all] that they possess.

This [is] way their stupidity [belongs] to them and after them - in mouth their they take delight (Selah)

14 They are certain to die just like sheep, when a shepherd leads them away to be slaughtered. [PRS, MET] In the morning righteous people will rule over them, and then [those wealthy people will die and] their bodies will quickly decay in their graves; they will be where dead people are, far from their homes. (Sheol h7585)

Like sheep - for Sheol they have been appointed death it will shepherd them and they ruled over them upright [people] - to the morning (and form their *QK) [is] for [the] consuming of Sheol from lofty abode of him. (Sheol h7585)

15 But it is certain that God will rescue me so that I am not kept in the place of the dead. (Sheol h7585)

Surely God he will redeem life my from [the] hand of Sheol for he will take me (Selah) (Sheol h7585)

16 [So], do not be dismayed when someone becomes rich and the houses where they live become more and more luxurious,

May not you fear if he will become rich anyone if it will increase [the] honor of house his.

17 because when he dies, he will take nothing with him; his wealth will not go with him.

For not in death his he will take anything not it will go down after him honor his.

18 While [a rich person] is alive, he congratulates himself, and people praise him for being successful,

For self his in life his he blessed and people praise you if you will do well to yourself.

19 but he will [die], joining his ancestors, who will never see daylight again.

It will go to [the] generation of ancestors his until perpetuity not they will see light.

20 Even if someone is great, that cannot prevent him from dying; he will die, the same as animals do.

Humankind with honor and not he understands he is like like the animals [which] they are destroyed.
