ULT PSA Chapter 49

49 For the chief musician. psalm of sons of

1 Hear this, all peoples!

Listen, all dwellers of the world,

2 both sons of a human and sons of a man,

the rich and the poor together.

3 My mouth will speak wisdom,

and the meditation of my heart, understanding.

4 I will incline my ear to a proverb;

I will open my enigma with a harp.

5 Why should I fear in the days of evil,

when the iniquity of my heels surrounds me,

6 the ones trusting in their wealth,

and in the abundance of their treasure they boast?

7 Redeeming, a man does not redeem a brother,

he does not give his ransom to God.

8 For the redemption of their life is costly,

and it ceases forever,

9 that one should live on forever,

that one should not see the pit.

10 For one will see.

The wise die, likewise the fool and the brute perish,

and they leave their wealth to others.

11 Inside of them, their houses, are forever,

their dwellings, are to generation and generation.

They call over lands by their names.

12 But a human does not abide in honor.

He is likened to the beasts, they are destroyed.

13 This, their way, is folly to them,

but after them, they delight in their mouths. Selah

14 Like sheep, they appoint, them to Sheol;

death will shepherd them.

And the upright will rule over them in the morning,

and Sheol will consume their form from the dwelling to it.

15 But God will redeem my soul from the hand of Sheol,

for he will take me. Selah

16 Do not fear when a man becomes rich,

when the glory of his house increases.

17 For in his death, he will not take anything;

his glory will not go down after him.

18 Although in his life he blesses his soul

(and they do praise you when you do well for yourself),

19 he will come to the generation of his fathers;

forever they will not see light.

20 A human in honor, but he does not understand,

he is likened to the beasts, they are destroyed.
