Chapter 49
| Psal | NETtext | 49:1 | For the music director, a psalm by the Korahites.Listen to this, all you nations! Pay attention, all you inhabitants of the world! | |
| Psal | NETtext | 49:4 | I will learn a song that imparts wisdom; I will then sing my insightful song to the accompaniment of a harp. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 49:5 | Why should I be afraid in times of trouble, when the sinful deeds of deceptive men threaten to overwhelm me? | |
| Psal | NETtext | 49:7 | Certainly a man cannot rescue his brother; he cannot pay God an adequate ransom price | |
| Psal | NETtext | 49:8 | (the ransom price for a human life is too high, and people go to their final destiny), | |
| Psal | NETtext | 49:10 | Surely one sees that even wise people die; fools and spiritually insensitive people all pass away and leave their wealth to others. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 49:11 | Their grave becomes their permanent residence, their eternal dwelling place. They name their lands after themselves, | |
| Psal | NETtext | 49:12 | but, despite their wealth, people do not last, they are like animals that perish. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 49:13 | This is the destiny of fools, and of those who approve of their philosophy. (Selah) | |
| Psal | NETtext | 49:14 | They will travel to Sheol like sheep, with death as their shepherd. The godly will rule over them when the day of vindication dawns; Sheol will consume their bodies and they will no longer live in impressive houses. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 49:15 | But God will rescue my life from the power of Sheol; certainly he will pull me to safety. (Selah) | |
| Psal | NETtext | 49:17 | For he will take nothing with him when he dies; his wealth will not follow him down into the grave. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 49:18 | He pronounces this blessing on himself while he is alive: "May men praise you, for you have done well!" | |
