1 Въ коне́цъ, сынѡ́мъ коре́ѡвымъ, ѱало́мъ,
·
2 Оу҆слы́шите сїѧ̑, всѝ ꙗ҆зы́цы, внꙋши́те, всѝ живꙋ́щїи по вселе́ннѣй,
49:1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. Hear this, all you peoples. Listen, all you inhabitants of the world,
3 земноро́днїи же и҆ сы́нове человѣ́честїи, вкꙋ́пѣ бога́тъ и҆ ᲂу҆бо́гъ.
49:2 both low and high, rich and poor together.
4 Оу҆ста̀ моѧ̑ возглаго́лютъ премꙋ́дрость, и҆ поꙋче́нїе се́рдца моегѡ̀ ра́зꙋмъ.
49:3 My mouth will speak words of wisdom. My heart will utter understanding.
5 Приклоню̀ въ при́тчꙋ ᲂу҆́хо моѐ, ѿве́рзꙋ во ѱалти́ри гана́нїе моѐ.
49:4 I will incline my ear to a proverb. I will solve my riddle on the harp.
6 Вскꙋ́ю бою́сѧ въ де́нь лю́тъ; беззако́нїе пѧты̀ моеѧ̀ ѡ҆бы́детъ мѧ̀.
49:5 Why should I fear in the days of evil, when iniquity at my heels surrounds me?
7 Надѣ́ющїисѧ на си́лꙋ свою̀ и҆ ѡ҆ мно́жествѣ бога́тства своегѡ̀ хва́лѧщїисѧ:
49:6 Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches—
8 бра́тъ не и҆зба́витъ, и҆зба́витъ ли человѣ́къ; не да́стъ бг҃ꙋ и҆змѣ́ны за сѧ̀,
49:7 none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.
9 и҆ цѣ́нꙋ и҆збавле́нїѧ дꙋшѝ своеѧ̀: и҆ ᲂу҆трꙋди́сѧ въ вѣ́къ,
49:8 For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,
10 и҆ жи́въ бꙋ́детъ до конца̀, не ᲂу҆́зритъ па́гꙋбы.
49:9 that he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.
11 Є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆ви́дитъ премꙋ̑дрыѧ ᲂу҆мира́ющыѧ, вкꙋ́пѣ безꙋ́менъ и҆ несмы́сленъ поги́бнꙋтъ, и҆ ѡ҆ста́вѧтъ чꙋжди̑мъ бога́тство своѐ.
49:10 For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others.
12 И҆ гро́би и҆́хъ жили̑ща и҆́хъ во вѣ́къ, селє́нїѧ и҆́хъ въ ро́дъ и҆ ро́дъ, нареко́ша и҆мена̀ своѧ̑ на землѧ́хъ.
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.
13 И҆ человѣ́къ въ че́сти сы́й не разꙋмѣ̀, приложи́сѧ скотѡ́мъ несмы́слєннымъ и҆ ᲂу҆подо́бисѧ и҆̀мъ.
49:12 But man, despite his riches, doesn’t endure. He is like the animals that perish.
14 Се́й пꙋ́ть и҆́хъ собла́знъ и҆̀мъ, и҆ по си́хъ во ᲂу҆стѣ́хъ свои́хъ благоволѧ́тъ.
49:13 This is the destiny of those who are foolish, and of those who approve their sayings. Selah.
15 Ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆́вцы во а҆́дѣ положе́ни сꙋ́ть, сме́рть ᲂу҆пасе́тъ ѧ҆̀: и҆ ѡ҆блада́ютъ и҆́ми пра́вїи заꙋ́тра, и҆ по́мощь и҆́хъ ѡ҆бетша́етъ во а҆́дѣ: ѿ сла́вы своеѧ̀ и҆зринове́ни бы́ша.
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.
16 Ѻ҆ба́че бг҃ъ и҆зба́витъ дꙋ́шꙋ мою̀ и҆з̾ рꙋкѝ а҆́довы, є҆гда̀ прїе́млетъ мѧ̀.
49:15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. Selah.
17 Не ᲂу҆бо́йсѧ, є҆гда̀ разбогатѣ́етъ человѣ́къ, и҆лѝ є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆мно́житсѧ сла́ва до́мꙋ є҆гѡ̀:
49:16 Don’t be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
18 ꙗ҆́кѡ внегда̀ ᲂу҆мре́ти є҆мꙋ̀, не во́зметъ всѧ̑, нижѐ сни́детъ съ ни́мъ сла́ва є҆гѡ̀.
49:17 for when he dies he will carry nothing away. His glory won’t descend after him.
19 Ꙗ҆́кѡ дꙋша̀ є҆гѡ̀ въ животѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀ благослови́тсѧ, и҆сповѣ́стсѧ тебѣ̀, є҆гда̀ благосотвори́ши є҆мꙋ̀.
49:18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul— and men praise you when you do well for yourself—
20 Вни́детъ да́же до ро́да ѻ҆тє́цъ свои́хъ, да́же до вѣ́ка не ᲂу҆́зритъ свѣ́та.
49:19 he shall go to the generation of his fathers. They shall never see the light.
21 И҆ человѣ́къ въ че́сти сы́й не разꙋмѣ̀, приложи́сѧ скотѡ́мъ несмы́слєннымъ и҆ ᲂу҆подо́бисѧ и҆̀мъ.
49:20 A man who has riches without understanding, is like the animals that perish.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 49.

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm XLVIII)

    The title of this Psalm is, "A song of praise, to the sons of Korah, on the second day of the week." Concerning this what the Lord deigneth to grant receive ye like sons of the firmament.

  2. Quotes verse 49:12 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book IV, Preface)

    … lost the true rationality, and living irrationally, opposed the righteousness of God, giving himself over to every earthly spirit, and serving all lusts; as says the prophet, "Man, being in honour, did not understand: he was assimilated to senseless beasts, and made like to them." Chapter V.--The author returns to his former argument, and shows that there was but one …

  3. Quotes verse 49:20 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book XIII, Chapters XXII–XXIV)

    For this he doth by the discernment of his mind, whereby he perceiveth the things "of the Spirit of God;" whereas, otherwise, man being placed in honour, had no understanding, and is compared unto the brute beasts, and is become like unto them. In Thy Church, therefore, O our God, according to Thy grace which Thou hast accorded unto it, …

  4. Quotes verse 49:7 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily V)

    As the prophet too said, intimating the selfsame thing, "A brother redeemeth not, shall a man redeem?" No, not although it were Moses, Samuel, Jeremiah.

  5. Quotes verse 49:11 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XV, Chapter 20)

    It is of such the Psalmist says, "They call their lands after their own names." Wherefore they incur what is written in another psalm: "Thou, O Lord, in Thy city wilt despise their image." But as for the son of Seth, the son of the resurrection, let him hope to call on the name of the Lord God.
