Psalms 49:17 - Prayer Tents

49[To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.] Hear this, all peoples! Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,H5329H4210H1121H7141H8085H5971H238H3427H2465 2both low and high, rich and poor together!H1121H120H1121H376H6223H34H3162 3My mouth shall speak wisdom; the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.H6310H1696H2454H1900H3820H8394 4I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will solve my riddle to the music of the lyre.H5186H241H4912H6605H2420H3658 5Why should I fear in times of trouble, when the iniquity of those who cheat me surrounds me,H3372H3117H7451H5771H6120H5437 6those who trust in their wealth and boast of the abundance of their riches?H982H2428H1984H7230H6239 7Truly no man can ransom another, or give to God the price of his life,H376H6299H6299H251H5414H430H3724 8for the ransom of their life is costly and can never suffice,H6306H5315H3365H2308H5769 9that he should live on forever and never see the pit.H2421H5331H7200H7845 10For he sees that even the wise die; the fool and the stupid alike must perish and leave their wealth to others.H7200H2450H4191H3162H3684H1198H6H5800H2428H312 11Their graves are their homes forever, their dwelling places to all generations, though they called lands by their own names.H7130H1004H5769H4908H1755H1755H7121H127H8034 12Man in his pomp will not remain; he is like the beasts that perish.H120H3366H3885H4911H929H1820 13This is the path of those who have foolish confidence; yet after them people approve of their boasts. SelahH1870H3689H310H7521H6310H5542 14Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol; death shall be their shepherd, and the upright shall rule over them in the morning. Their form shall be consumed in Sheol, with no place to dwell.H6629H8371H7585H4194H7462H3477H7287H1242H6697H6736H1086H7585H2073 15But God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. SelahH430H6299H5315H3027H7585H3947H5542 16Be not afraid when a man becomes rich, when the glory of his house increases.H3372H376H6238H3519H1004H7235 17For when he dies he will carry nothing away; his glory will not go down after him.H4194H3947H3519H3381H310 18For though, while he lives, he counts himself blessed—and though you get praise when you do well for yourself—H2416H1288H5315H3034H3190 19his soul will go to the generation of his fathers, who will never again see light.H935H1755H1H3808H5331H7200H216 20Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish.H120H3366H995H4911H929H1820
