Your right hand is full of righteousness. 048:011 Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments. 048:012 Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers. 048:013 Mark well her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation. 048:014 For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death. 049:001 <<For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.>> Hear this, all you peoples. Listen, all you inhabitants of the world, 049:002 both low and high, rich and poor together. 049:003 My mouth will speak words of wisdom. My heart shall utter understanding. 049:004 I will incline my ear to a proverb. I will open my riddle on the harp. 049:005 Why should I fear in the days of evil, when iniquity at my heels surrounds me? 049:006 Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches-- 049:007 none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him. 049:008 For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough, 049:009 That he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption. 049:010 For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others. 049:011 Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever, and their dwelling places to all generations. They name their lands after themselves. 049:012 But man, despite his riches, doesn't endure. He is like the animals that perish. 049:013 This is the destiny of those who are foolish, and of those who approve their sayings. Selah. 049:014 They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol, far from their mansion. 049:015 But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. Selah. 049:016 Don't be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased. 049:017 For when he dies he shall carry nothing away. His glory shall not descend after him. 049:018 Though while he lived he blessed his soul--and men praise you when you do well for yourself-- 049:019 he shall go to the generation of his fathers. They shall never see the light. 049:020 A man who has riches without understanding, is like the animals that perish. 050:001 <<A Psalm by Asaph.>> The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, speaks, and calls the earth from sunrise to sunset. 050:002 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth. 050:003 Our God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire devours before him. It is very stormy around him. 050:004 He calls to the heavens above, to the earth, that he may judge his people:
