Psalms Chapter 49 Verse 5Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, [when] the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?

We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.

According to thy name, O God, so [is] thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.

Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.

Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell [it] to the generation following.

For this God [is] our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide [even] unto death.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. Hear this, all [ye] people; give ear, all [ye] inhabitants of the world:

Both low and high, rich and poor, together.

My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart [shall be] of understanding.

I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

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

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

(For the redemption of their soul [is] precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)

That he should still live for ever, [and] not see corruption.

For he seeth [that] wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.

Their inward thought [is, that] their houses [shall continue] for ever, [and] their dwelling places to all generations; they call [their] lands after their own names.

Nevertheless man [being] in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts [that] perish.

This their way [is] their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.

Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.

But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
