Notes

Psalms 49:16–20

The wicked might have rich, luxurious lives, but they forget that they cannot avoid death.

Psalms 49:1–20

In this wisdom psalm, a wise teacher warns about enemies who live richly and care only for themselves (Psalm 49:5–9). They cannot save anyone, not even themselves, from death or being forgotten (Psalm 49:10–12). Like fattened animals, they are led to slaughter (Psalm 49:14–20).
