What a delight

Psalm 49



For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.


{49:1} Hear this, all you peoples.
Listen, all you inhabitants of the world,
{49:2} Both low and high,
Rich and poor together.
{49:3} My mouth will speak words of wisdom.
My heart shall utter understanding.
{49:4} I will incline my ear to a proverb.
I will open my riddle on the harp.
{49:5} Why should I fear in the days of evil,
When iniquity at my heels surrounds me?
{49:6} Those who trust in their wealth,
And boast in the multitude of their riches--
{49:7} None of them can by any means redeem his brother,
Nor give God a ransom for him.
{49:8} For the redemption of their life is costly,
No payment is ever enough,
{49:9} That he should live on forever,
That he should not see corruption.
{49:10} For he sees that wise men die;
Likewise the fool and the senseless perish,
And leave their wealth to others.
{49:11} Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever,
And their dwelling places to all generations.
They name their lands after themselves.
{49:12} But man, despite his riches, doesn't endure.
He is like the animals that perish.

{49:13} This is the destiny of those who are foolish,
And of those who approve their sayings.
Selah.
{49:14} 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.
{49:15} But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol,
For he will receive me.
Selah.
{49:16} Don't be afraid when a man is made rich,
When the glory of his house is increased.
{49:17} For when he dies he shall carry nothing away.
His glory shall not descend after him.
{49:18} Though while he lived he blessed his soul--
And men praise you when you do well for yourself--
{49:19} He shall go to the generation of his fathers.
They shall never see the light.
{49:20} A man who has riches without understanding,
Is like the animals that perish.

Salaam,

I think that this refers to the three-headed people! What do you think Ush - oh sorry, I shouldn't ask you to think - it's against your unique religion isn't it?

On a serious note Ush, don't think - you may just disprove the concept of the Trinity and your bosses won't like it!

Nur,

You just have a twisted sense of humour.

I understand.

This is a beautiful psalm by God and this is what happens in reality.

Tell me it is all lies please.

I know you have to open you big mouth.

Salaam,
Thanks - I'll take that as a compliment. Oh and you three-headed people have a twisted sense of logic!
