05:02psalm 49
05:05listen to this all you nations
05:08pay attention all you inhabitants of the world
05:12pay attention all you people both rich and poor
05:17I will declare a wise saying I will share my profound thoughts
05:24I will learn a song that imparts wisdom I will then sing my insightful song to the accompaniment of a
05:32harp
05:34why should I be afraid in times of trouble when the sinful deeds of deceptive men threaten to overwhelm me
05:42they trust in their wealth and boast in their great riches
05:47certainly a man cannot rescue his brother
05:49he cannot pay God an adequate ransom price
05:54for the ransom price of a human life is too high
05:57and people go to their final destiny
06:01so that he might continue to live forever and not experience death
06:07surely one sees that even wise people die
06:11fools and spiritually insensitive people all pass away
06:16and leave their wealth to others
06:18their grave becomes their permanent residence
06:22their eternal dwelling place
06:24they name their lands after themselves
06:27but despite their wealth
06:29people do not last
06:31they are like animals that perish
06:35this is the destiny of fools
06:37and of those who approve of their philosophy
06:41they will travel to Sheol like sheep
06:44with death as their shepherd
06:46the godly will rule over them
06:48when the day of vindication dawns
06:52Sheol will consume their bodies
06:54and they will no longer live
06:55in impressive houses
06:58but God will rescue my life
07:01from the power of Sheol
07:02certainly he will pull me to safety
07:07do not be afraid
07:08when a man becomes rich
07:10and his wealth multiplies
07:12for he will take nothing with him
07:14when he dies
07:15his wealth will not follow him down
07:17into the grave
07:20he pronounces this blessing on himself
07:23while he is alive
07:25may men praise you
07:27for you have done well
07:30but he will join his ancestors
07:32and they will never again see the light of day
07:36wealthy people do not understand
07:38they are like animals that perish
07:43glory be to the Father
07:44and to the Son
07:46and to the Holy Spirit
