Psalm 49 :: Brenton's English Septuagint (BES)

Psa 49:1

Psa 49:1(LXX 48:1) For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core. (48:2) Hear these words, all ye nations, hearken, all ye that dwell upon the earth:

Psa 49:2

Psa 49:2(LXX 48:3) both the [fn]sons of mean men, and sons of great men; the rich and poor man together.

Psa 49:3

Psa 49:3(LXX 48:4) My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall bring forth understanding.

Psa 49:4

Psa 49:4(LXX 48:5) I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my [fn]riddle on the harp.

Psa 49:5

Psa 49:5(LXX 48:6) Wherefore [fn]should I fear in the evil day? the iniquity of my heel shall compass me.

Psa 49:6

Psa 49:6(LXX 48:7) They that trust in their strength, and boast themselves in the multitude of their wealth—

Psa 49:7

Psa 49:7(LXX 48:8) A brother does not redeem, shall a man redeem? he shall not give to God a ransom for himself,

Psa 49:8

Psa 49:8(LXX 48:9) or the price of the redemption of his soul, though he labour for ever,

Psa 49:9

Psa 49:9(LXX 48:10) and live to the end, so that he should not see corruption.

Psa 49:10

Psa 49:10(LXX 48:11) When he shall see wise men dying, the fool and the senseless one shall perish together; and they shall leave their wealth to strangers.

Psa 49:11

Psa 49:11(LXX 48:12) And their sepulchres are their houses for ever, even their tabernacles to all generations: they have called their lands after their own names.

Psa 49:12

Psa 49:12(LXX 48:13) And man being in honour, understands not: he is compared to the senseless cattle, and is like to them.

Psa 49:13

Psa 49:13(LXX 48:14) This their way is an offence to them: yet afterwards men will commend their sayings. Pause.

Psa 49:14

Psa 49:14(LXX 48:15) They have laid them as sheep in Hades; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning, and their help shall fail in Hades from their glory.

Psa 49:15

Psa 49:15(LXX 48:16) But God shall deliver my soul from the power of Hades, when he shall receive me. Pause.

Psa 49:16

Psa 49:16(LXX 48:17) Fear not when a man is enriched, and when the glory of his house is increased.

Psa 49:17

Psa 49:17(LXX 48:18) For he shall take nothing when he dies; neither shall his glory descend with him.

Psa 49:18

Psa 49:18(LXX 48:19) For his soul shall be blessed in his life: he shall give thanks to thee when thou dost well to him.

Psa 49:19

Psa 49:19(LXX 48:20) Yet he shall go in [fn]to the generation of his fathers; he shall never see light.

Psa 49:20

Psa 49:20(LXX 48:21) Man that is in honour, understands not: he is compared to the senseless cattle, and is like them.
