Psalms 49:11 - Prayer Tents

49Hear this, all you peoples; listen, all who live in this world,H5329H4210H1121H7141H8085H5971H238H3427H2465 2both low and high, rich and poor alike:H1121H120H1121H376H6223H34H3162 3My mouth will speak words of wisdom; the meditation of my heart will give you understanding.H6310H1696H2454H1900H3820H8394 4I will turn my ear to a proverb; with the harp I will expound my riddle:H5186H241H4912H6605H2420H3658 5Why should I fear when evil days come, when wicked deceivers surround me—H3372H3117H7451H5771H6120H5437 6those who trust in their wealth and boast of their great riches?H982H2428H1984H7230H6239 7No one can redeem the life of another or give to God a sufficient ransom—H376H6299H6299H251H5414H430H3724 8the ransom for a life is costly, no payment is ever enough—H6306H5315H3365H2308H5769 9so that someone should live on forever and not see decay.H2421H5331H7200H7845 10For all can see that the wise die, that the foolish and the senseless also perish, leaving their wealth to others.H7200H2450H4191H3162H3684H1198H6H5800H2428H312 11Their tombs will remain their houses forever, their dwellings for endless generations, though they had named lands after themselves.H7130H1004H5769H4908H1755H1755H7121H127H8034 12Human beings, despite their wealth, do not endure; they are like the beasts that perish.H120H3366H3885H4911H929H1820 13This is the fate of those who trust in themselves, and of their followers, who approve their sayings.H1870H3689H310H7521H6310H5542 14They are like sheep and are destined to die; death will be their shepherd (but the upright will prevail over them in the morning). Their forms will decay in the grave, far from their princely mansions.H6629H8371H7585H4194H7462H3477H7287H1242H6697H6736H1086H7585H2073 15But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead; he will surely take me to himself.H430H6299H5315H3027H7585H3947H5542 16Do not be overawed when others grow rich, when the splendor of their houses increases;H3372H376H6238H3519H1004H7235 17for they will take nothing with them when they die, their splendor will not descend with them.H4194H3947H3519H3381H310 18Though while they live they count themselves blessed—and people praise you when you prosper—H2416H1288H5315H3034H3190 19they will join those who have gone before them, who will never again see the light of life.H935H1755H1H3808H5331H7200H216 20Human beings who have wealth but lack understanding are like the beasts that perish.H120H3366H995H4911H929H1820
