Revised Version 1895

Psalms 49:5-12

5Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when iniquity at my heels compasseth me about?

6They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselvesH5771 in the multitude of their riches;

7None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:

8(For the redemptionH6299 of their soul is costly, and mustH3808 be letH5414 alone for ever:)

9That he should still live alway, that he should notH2308 see corruption.

10For he seeth that wise men die, the fool and the brutish together perish, and leave their wealthH3808 to others.

11Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to allH3162 generations; they call their lands afterH3588 their own names.

12But man abideth not in honour: he is like the beasts that perish.
