  Speaker 1: Psalm 49 For the Chief Musician A Psalm by the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Sons of Korah Hear this, all you peoples. Listen, all
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: you inhabitants of the world, both low and high, rich
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: and poor together. My mouth will speak words of wisdom,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: my heart shall utter understanding. I will incline my ear
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: to a proverb, I will open my riddle on the harp.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Why should I fear in the days of evil, when
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: iniquity at my heel surrounds me? THOSE WHO TRUST IN
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: THEIR WEALTH AND BOAST IN THE MULTITUDE OF THEIR RICHES,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: NONE OF THEM CAN BY ANY MEANS REDEEM HIS BROTHER,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: NOR GIVE GOD A RANSOM FOR HIM. FOR THE REDEMPTION
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: OF THEIR LIFE IS COSTLY, NO PAYMENT IS EVER ENOUGH,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: THAT HE SHOULD LIVE ON FOREVER, THAT HE SHOULD NOT
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: SEE CORRUPTION. FOR HE SEES THAT WISE MEN DIE, LIKEWISE
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: THE FOOL AND THE SENSELESS PERISH, AND LEAVE THEIR WEALTH
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: TO OTHERS. Their inward thought is that their houses will
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: endure forever, and their dwelling-places to all generations. They name
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: their lands after themselves. But man, despite his riches, doesn't endure.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: He is like the animals that perish. This is the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: destiny of those who are foolish, and of those who
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: approve their sayings. They are appointed as a flock for Sheol.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: far from their mansion. But God will redeem my soul
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: from the power of Sheol, for He will receive me.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Don't be afraid when a man is made rich, when
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the glory of his house is increased. For when he dies,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: he shall carry nothing away. His glory shall not descend
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: after him. Though while he lived he blessed his soul,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and men praise you when you do well for yourself,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: he shall go to the generation of his fathers, they
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: shall never see the light. A man who has riches
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: without understanding is like the animals that perish.
