Psalm 49

Verses of Psalm 49 of the NKJV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - Hear this, all peoples; Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,
2 - Both low and high, Rich and poor together.
3 - My mouth shall speak wisdom, And the meditation of my heart shall give understanding.
4 - I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will disclose my dark saying on the harp.
5 - Why should I fear in the days of evil, When the iniquity at my heels surrounds me?
6 - Those who trust in their wealth And boast in the multitude of their riches,
7 - None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him--
8 - For the redemption of their souls is costly, And it shall cease forever--
9 - That he should continue to live eternally, And not see the Pit.
10 - For he sees wise men die; Likewise the fool and the senseless person perish, And leave their wealth to others.
11 - Their inner thought is that their houses will last forever, Their dwelling places to all generations; They call their lands after their own names.
12 - Nevertheless man, though in honor, does not remain; He is like the beasts that perish.
13 - This is the way of those who are foolish, And of their posterity who approve their sayings.Selah
14 - Like sheep they are laid in the grave; Death shall feed on them; The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall be consumed in the grave, far from their dwelling.
15 - But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave, For He shall receive me.Selah
16 - Do not be afraid when one becomes rich, When the glory of his house is increased;
17 - For when he dies he shall carry nothing away; His glory shall not descend after him.
18 - Though while he lives he blesses himself (For men will praise you when you do well for yourself),
19 - He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see light.
20 - A man who is in honor, yet does not understand, Is like the beasts that perish.
