Psalmi 49
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
49 Psalmus Asaph. Deus deorum Dominus locutus est, et vocavit terram a solis ortu usque ad occasum.
2 Ex Sion species decoris ejus:
3 Deus manifeste veniet; Deus noster, et non silebit. Ignis in conspectu ejus exardescet; et in circuitu ejus tempestas valida.
4 Advocabit caelum desursum, et terram, discernere populum suum.
5 Congregate illi sanctos ejus, qui ordinant testamentum ejus super sacrificia.
6 Et annuntiabunt caeli justitiam ejus, quoniam Deus judex est.
7 Audi, populus meus, et loquar; Israel, et testificabor tibi: Deus, Deus tuus ego sum.
8 Non in sacrificiis tuis arguam te; holocausta autem tua in conspectu meo sunt semper.
9 Non accipiam de domo tua vitulos, neque de gregibus tuis hircos:
10 quoniam meae sunt omnes ferae silvarum, jumenta in montibus, et boves.
11 Cognovi omnia volatilia caeli, et pulchritudo agri mecum est.
12 Si esuriero, non dicam tibi: meus est enim orbis terrae et plenitudo ejus.
13 Numquid manducabo carnes taurorum? aut sanguinem hircorum potabo?
14 Immola Deo sacrificium laudis, et redde Altissimo vota tua.
15 Et invoca me in die tribulationis: eruam te, et honorificabis me.
16 Peccatori autem dixit Deus: Quare tu enarras justitias meas? et assumis testamentum meum per os tuum?
17 Tu vero odisti disciplinam, et projecisti sermones meos retrorsum.
18 Si videbas furem, currebas cum eo; et cum adulteris portionem tuam ponebas.
19 Os tuum abundavit malitia, et lingua tua concinnabat dolos.
20 Sedens adversus fratrem tuum loquebaris, et adversus filium matris tuae ponebas scandalum.
21 Haec fecisti, et tacui. Existimasti inique quod ero tui similis: arguam te, et statuam contra faciem tuam.
22 Intelligite haec, qui obliviscimini Deum, nequando rapiat, et non sit qui eripiat.
23 Sacrificium laudis honorificabit me, et illic iter quo ostendam illi salutare Dei.
Psalm 49
King James Version
49 Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:
2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
8 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
9 That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
10 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11 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.
12 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
13 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
14 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.
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
20 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
