Psaume 49:20 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 49:20

Man [that is] in honour
A wicked man, as the Targum; (See Gill on Psalms 49:12);

and understandeth not;
from whence his riches and honour, come, and what use he should make of them, and for what end he has them; or that understandeth not spiritual things, which relate to the salvation of his soul; who does not know God in Christ, nor the way of salvation by Christ; nor has any experience of the work of the Spirit of God upon his soul; nor has any spiritual understanding of the doctrines of the Gospel; nor knows himself, his state and condition, and what true happiness is:

is like the beasts [that] perish; (See Gill on Psalms 49:12).

Psaume 49:20 In-Context

18 Car, en mourant, il n'emportera rien; sa gloire ne descendra pas après lui.

19 Que dans sa vie il rende son âme heureuse, qu'on te loue parce que tu te fais du bien,

20 Tu iras pourtant vers la génération de tes pères, qui ne reverront jamais la lumière.

21 L'homme qui est en honneur et qui n'a pas d'intelligence, devient semblable aux bêtes qui périssent.
