Psalm 49, 37, 73; 112

1Listen

to this, all you nations; listen, all you who live on earth. 2 Listen, both great and small, rich and poor together. 3 What I say is wise, and my heart speaks with understanding. 4 I will pay attention to a wise saying; I will explain my riddle on the harp.

Why should I be afraid of bad days? Why should I fear when evil men surround me? 6 They trust in their money and brag about their riches. 7 No one can buy back the life of another. No one can pay God for his own life, 8 because the price of a life is high. No payment is ever enough. 9 Do people live forever? Don't they all face death?

10

See, even wise people die. Fools and stupid people also die and leave their wealth to others. 11 Their graves will always be their homes. They will live there from now on, even though they named places after themselves. 12 Even rich people do not live forever; like the animals, people die.

13

This is what will happen to those who trust in themselves and to their followers who believe them. Selah 14 Like sheep, they must die, and death will be their shepherd. Honest people will rule over them in the morning, and their bodies will rot in a grave far from home. 15 But God will save my life and will take me from the grave. Selah

16

Don't be afraid of rich people because their houses are more beautiful. 17 They don't take anything to the grave; their wealth won't go down with them. 18 Even though they were praised when they were alive and people may praise you when you succeed 19 they will go to where their ancestors are. They will never see light again. 20 Rich people with no understanding are just like animals that die.

As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
Matthew 24:37 The days of Noah: Gen.6:11-12 - corrupt full of violence

For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah
entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away.
Matthew 24:38-39
CF: Gen. 6:4-6

Psalm 37, 49, and 73 instructs us on how we are to respond:

The Hebrew word used is tithchar, from the verb charah (H2734),which literally means to be hot, furious, burn, become angry, be
kindled, be incensed, to

heat oneself in

vexation.

Psalm 37:1a Do not fret because of evil men Psalm 37:7b Do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently

for him (37:7a) Refrain from anger and turn away from wrath (37:8a)
WHY? because it leads only to evil (37:8b).
Toxic emotions toxic thoughts toxic systems

Luke 19:1-10

The Hebrew word used is qana (H7065) which literally means to envy, to be envious of, to be jealous of, to excite to jealous anger.

Psalm 37:1b Do not be envious of those who do wrong Psalm 73:3b For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

Turn your eyes upon JESUS Be strengthened as you remember His love for you (Eph.3:16-19) He is the FULLNESS OF GOD (Col.1:19) He is ALL that you need; nothing more, nothing less. Keep your eyes focused on God (37:31, 73:17)
Count your blessings. Delight yourself in the Lord

And He will give you the desires of your heart(37:4).


Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,

and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matt.6:33)

The Hebrew term for this is yare (H3372) which literally means to fear, revere, be afraid, stand in awe of, be awed.

Psalm 49:16a NASB Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich, when the glory of his house increases (NIV: overawed )

Fear GOD and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or bad (Ecc.12:13-14).

man will take nothing with him when he

dies, his splendor will not descend with him. Though while he lived he counted himself blessed and men praise [him] when [he] prospers he will join the generation of his fathers who will never see the light of life. A man who has riches without understanding is like the beasts that perish (Ps 49:17-20).

Jesus said it best:

What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
Matt. 16:26-27

Psalm 112 Praise the Lord. Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who finds great delight in his commands.

children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. 4 Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man. 5 Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely, who conducts his affairs with justice.

The wicked man will see and be vexed, he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the longings of the wicked will come to nothing. NIV
