Psalms 49:5-12
5WhyH4100 should I 1fearH3372 in daysH3117 of adversityH7451, When the iniquityH5771 of my 2foesH6120 surroundsH5437 me,6Even those who 3trustH982 in their wealthH2428 And boastH1984 in the abundanceH7230 of their richesH6239?7NoH3808 manH376 can by anyH6299 meansH6299 4redeemH6299 his brotherH251 OrH3808 giveH5414 to GodH430 a 5ransomH3724 for him--8For 6the redemptionH6306 of 7his soulH5315 is costlyH3365, And he should ceaseH2308 trying foreverH5769--9That he should 8liveH2421 on eternallyH5331, That he should not 910undergoH7845 decayH7845.
10For he seesH7200 that even 11wiseH2450 menH2450 dieH4191; The 12stupidH3684 and the senselessH1198 alikeH3162 perishH6 And 13leaveH5800 their wealthH2428 to othersH312.11Their 1415innerH7130 thoughtH7130 is that their housesH1004 16are foreverH5769 And their dwellingH4908 placesH4908 to allH1755 generationsH1755; They have 17calledH7121 their landsH127 after their own namesH8034.12But 18manH120 in his 19pompH3366 will not endureH3885; He is likeH4911 the 20beastsH929 that 21perishH1820.
