詩49:1（UCV）【依仗錢財愚味之極】｛可拉後裔的詩，交與伶長。｝萬民哪！你們都當聽這話。世上一切的居民，

詩49:1（NCV）【富貴榮華不足倚靠】｛可拉子孫的詩，交給詩班長。｝萬民哪！你們要聽這話；世上的居民哪！你們要留心聽。

詩49:1（CLV）世上所有的人啊，你們不論貴賤貧富，都要來聽我的話。

Psalm 49:1（KJV）Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:

Psalm 49:1（NIV）{ For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. } Hear this, all you peoples; listen, all who live in this world,

詩49:2（UCV）無論上流下流，富足貧窮，都當留心聽！

詩49:2（NCV）不論地位高低，或貧或富，都要一同留心聽。

詩49:2（CLV）*併入第1節中

Psalm 49:2（KJV）Both low and high, rich and poor, together.

Psalm 49:2（NIV）both low and high, rich and poor alike:

詩49:3（UCV）我口要說智慧的言語；我心要想通達的道理。

詩49:3（NCV）我的口要說出智慧的話；我的心要默想明智的事。

詩49:3（CLV）因為我的話充滿智慧和見識。

Psalm 49:3（KJV）My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

Psalm49:3（NIV）My mouth will speak words of wisdom; the utterance from my heart will give understanding.

詩49:4（UCV）我要側耳聽比喻，用琴解謎語。

詩49:4（NCV）我要留心聆聽箴言；我要彈琴解開謎語。

詩49:4（CLV）我要邊彈邊唱，用音律道出人生的一個重要問題：

Psalm 49:4（KJV）I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

Psalm 49:4（NIV）I will turn my ear to a proverb; with the harp I will expound my riddle:

詩49:5（UCV）在患難的日子，奸惡隨我腳跟，四面環繞我，我何必懼怕？

詩49:5（NCV）在患難的日子，暗中逼害我的惡人圍繞我的時候，我何須懼怕呢？

詩49:5（CLV）為甚麼要懼怕苦難的來臨、仇敵四面的圍攻呢？

Psalm 49:5（KJV）Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?

Psalm 49:5（NIV）Why should I fear when evil days come, when wicked deceivers surround me（NIV）

詩49:6（UCV）那些倚仗財貨自誇錢財多的人，

詩49:6（NCV）他們倚靠財富，自誇多財。

詩49:6（CLV）為甚麼要害怕那些倚靠錢財、誇耀財富的人呢？

Psalm 49:6（KJV）They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;

Psalm 49:6（NIV）those who trust in their wealth and boast of their great riches?

詩49:7（UCV）一個也無法贖自己的弟兄，也不能替他將贖價給　神，

詩49:7（NCV）但他們沒有一個能把他的兄弟贖回，或把他的贖價交給　神，

詩49:7（CLV）即使他們富有如君王，也不能把自己的兄弟從上帝的手中買贖出來。

Psalm 49:7（KJV）None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:

Psalm 49:7（NIV） No man can redeem the life of another or give to God a ransom for him--

詩49:8（UCV）叫他長遠活著，不見朽壞，因為贖他生命的價值極貴，只可永遠罷休。

詩49:8（NCV）（因為他生命的贖價非常昂貴，只好永遠放棄，）

詩49:8（CLV）生命的價值實在太高了，遠非世上財富所能買贖，就是用上世間所有的財富，也不能使一個人永遠活著，免受死亡朽壞。

Psalm 49:8（KJV）(For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)

Psalm 49:8（NIV）the ransom for a life is costly, no payment is ever enough--

詩49:9（UCV）*併入第8節中

詩49:9（NCV）使他永遠活著，不見朽壞。

詩49:9（CLV）*併入第8節中

Psalm 49:9（KJV）That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.

Psalm 49:9（NIV）that he should live on forever and not see decay.

詩49:10（UCV）他必見智慧人死，又見愚頑人和畜類人一同滅亡，將他們的財貨留給別人。

詩49:10（NCV）他看見智慧人死去，愚昧人和愚頑人一同滅亡，把他們的財產留給別人。

詩49:10（CLV）不論是聰明的人、愚蠢的人、或是無知的人，都難免一死，積蓄來的財富，還不是要留給後人嗎？

Psalm 49:10（KJV）For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.

Psalm 49:10（NIV）For all can see that wise men die; the foolish and the senseless alike perish and leave their wealth to others.

詩49:11（UCV）他們心裏思想：他們的家室必永存，住宅必留到萬代；他們以自己的名稱自己的地。

詩49:11（NCV）他們心裏想，他們的家必永存，他們的住處必留到萬代；他們以自己的名，稱自己的地方。

詩49:11（CLV）他們用自己的名字來為產業命名，以為自己能永遠擁有它，可以永遠安居其上。

Psalm 49:11（KJV）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.

Psalm 49:11（NIV）Their tombs will remain their houses forever, their dwellings for endless generations, though they had named lands after themselves.

詩49:12（UCV）但人居尊貴中不能長久，如同死亡的畜類一樣。

詩49:12（NCV）但是人不能長享富貴；他們就像要滅亡的牲畜一樣。

詩49:12（CLV）儘管人有許多可誇的東西，也總要像走獸一樣死去。

Psalm 49:12（KJV）Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.

Psalm 49:12（NIV）But man, despite his riches, does not endure; he is like the beasts that perish.

詩49:13（UCV）他們行的這道，本為自己的愚昧，但他們以後的人還佩服他們的話語。《細拉》

詩49:13（NCV）這就是愚昧人的道路；但在他們以後的人，還欣賞他們的話。《細拉》

詩49:13（CLV）愚昧人的命運就是這樣，認同他們愚昧的也是一樣！

Psalm 49:13（KJV）This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.

Psalm 49:13（NIV）This is the fate of those who trust in themselves, and of their followers, who approve their sayings. Selah

詩49:14（UCV）他們如同羊群派定下陰間，死亡必作他們的牧者。到了早晨，正直人必管轄他們。他們的美容必被陰間所滅，以致無處可存。

詩49:14（NCV）他們好像羊群被派定下陰間；死亡必作他們的牧人。到了早晨，正直人要管轄他們；他們的形體必被陰間消滅，他們再沒有住處。

詩49:14（CLV）死亡就是他們的牧者；到了早晨，惡人就要成為正直人的奴僕，他們死後的軀體就被陰間吞噬，再也無處容身了。

Psalm 49:14（KJV）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.

Psalm 49:14（NIV）Like sheep they are destined for the grave, and death will feed on them. The upright will rule over them in the morning; their forms will decay in the grave, far from their princely mansions.

Psalm 49:15（NIV）But God will redeem my life from the grave; he will surely take me to himself. Selah

詩49:15（UCV）只是　神必救贖我的靈魂脫離陰間的權柄，因祂必收納我。《細拉》

詩49:15（NCV）只　神必救贖我的靈魂脫離陰間的權勢，因為他必把我接去。《細拉》

詩49:15（CLV）至於我，上帝會將我的生命從死亡的權勢中買贖出來，祂必會接待我。

Psalm 49:15（KJV）But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.

詩49:16（UCV）見人發財、家室增榮的時候，你不要懼怕，

詩49:16（NCV）別人發財，家室增榮的時候，你不要懼怕。

詩49:16（CLV）因此，他人雖然日益富有，家中堆滿財寶，我也不會沮喪；

Psalm 49:16（KJV）Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;

Psalm 49:16（NIV）Do not be overawed when a man grows rich, when the splendor of his house increases;

詩49:17（UCV）因為他死的時候，甚麼也不能帶去，他的榮耀不能隨他下去。

詩49:17（NCV）因為他死的時候，甚麼也不能帶走；他的榮華也不能隨他下去。

詩49:17（CLV）因為他們死後，甚麼也不能帶走，榮譽也不能追隨他們。

Psalm 49:17（KJV）For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.

Psalm 49:17（NIV）for he will take nothing with him when he dies, his splendor will not descend with him.

詩49:18（UCV）他活著的時候，雖然自誇為有福（你若利己，人必誇獎你），

詩49:18（NCV）他在世的時候，雖然自稱是有福的，並且說：「你只要富足，人就稱讚你。」

詩49:18（CLV）儘管一個人慶幸自己終生快樂，舉世也同聲讚揚他的成就。

Psalm 49:18（KJV）Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.

Psalm 49:18（NIV）Though while he lived he counted himself blessed-and men praise you when you prosper--

詩49:19（UCV）他仍必歸到他歷代的祖宗那裏，永不見光！

詩49:19（NCV）他還要歸到他歷代的祖宗那裏去，永不再見光明。

詩49:19（CLV）到頭來他還是要死去，再也看不見亮光。

Psalm 49:19（KJV）He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.

Psalm 49:19（NIV）he will join the generation of his fathers, who will never see the light of life.

詩49:20（UCV）人在尊貴中而不醒悟，就如死亡的畜類一樣。

詩49:20（NCV）人享富貴而不聰明，就要像滅亡的牲畜一樣。

詩49:20（CLV）因為儘管人擁有許多可誇的東西，他仍要像所有的走獸一樣死去。

Psalm 49:20（KJV）Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.

Psalm 49:20（NIV）A man who has riches without understanding is like the beasts that perish.
