Psalm 49
49:1 «To
the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.» Hear
a
this, all [ye] people; give ear, all [ye] inhabitants of the world:
(
a) He will intreat how God governs the world by
his providence which cannot be perceived by the judgment of the flesh.
49:5
Wherefore should I
b fear in the days of
evil, [when] the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
(
b) Though wickedness reigns and enemies rage,
seeing God will execute his judgments against the wicked at a suitable time.
49:6 They that trust in their
c
wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
(
c) To trust in riches is madness, seeing they
can neither restore life, nor prolong it.
49:8 (For the redemption of
their soul [is]
d precious,
e
and it ceaseth for ever:)
(
d) That is, so rare or not to be found, as
prophecy was precious in the days of Eli, (
1 Samuel
3:1).
(
e) Meaning it is impossible to live for ever:
also that life and death are only in God's hands.
49:10 For he seeth [that] wise
men
f die, likewise the fool and the
brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to
g
others.
(
f) In that that death makes no difference
between the persons.
(
g) That is, not to their children, but to
strangers. Yet the wicked profit not by these examples, but still dream of
immortality on earth.
49:12 Nevertheless man
[being] in honour abideth not: he is like the
h
beasts [that] perish.
(
h) Concerning the death of the body.
49:13 This their way [is] their folly: yet their
posterity
i approve their sayings.
Selah.
(
i) They speak and do the same thing that their
fathers did.
49:14 k
Like sheep they are laid in the grave;
l
death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the
m
morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.
(
k) As sheep are gathered into the fold, so shall
they be brought to the grave.
(
l) Because they have no part of life
everlasting.
(
m) Christ's coming is as the morning, when the
elect will reign with Christ their head over the wicked.
49:18
Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and
n
[men] will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
(
n) The flatterers praise them who live in
delight and pleasures.
49:19 o He
shall go to the generation of his fathers;
p
they shall never see light.
(
o) And not pass the term appointed for life.
(
p) Both they and their fathers will live here
but a while and at length die forever.
49:20 Man [that is] in honour, and
q
understandeth not, is like the beasts [that] perish.
(
q) He condemns man's ingratitude, who having
received excellent gifts from God, abuses them like a beast to his own
condemnation.
