  Speaker 1: Psalm forty nine for the Chief Musician, a psalm by
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the sons of Cora. Hear this, all you peoples, listen,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: all you inhabitants of the world, both low and high,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: rich 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 heels 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
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: name their lands after themselves. But man, despite his riches,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: doesn't endure. He is like the animals that perish. This
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: is the destiny of those who are foolish. And of
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: those who approve their sayings, they are appointed as a flock.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: For she O death shall be their shepherd. The upright
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: shall have dominion over them. In the morning, their beauty
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: shall decay in she O, far from their mansion. But
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheo,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: for he will receive me. Don't be afraid when a
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: man is made rich, when the glory of his house
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: has increased, for when he dies, he shall carry nothing away.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: His glory shall not descend after him. Though while he
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: lived he blest his soul, and men, praise you when
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: ye do well for yourself. He shall go to the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: generation of his fathers. They shall never see the light.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: A man who has riches without understanding is like the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: animals that perish.
