This research is focused on an ancient Israel’s sapiential poetry: the Psalm 49. In chapter 1, aspects of textual criticism and integrity of the TM were investigated, noting that textual variants from other versions, such as LXX and Hexapla, and from some Hebrew manuscripts, occurred for attempts to make the text clearer and more comprehensible. Next, the literary and cohesive aspects of the psalm were analyzed, observing repeated words and a well-developed literary structure. In chapter 2, the researcher analyzed the content of Psalm 49 through semantic and syntactic analysis. Some dominant themes were identified: the problem of trust in wealth and social exploitation; the prospect that death will bring an end to the wickedness of the evil ones, without a clear vision of the beyond-grave; and the sapiential nature of the poem, revealing a scholar and appreciator of the ancient Israel’s wisdom connected with the temple and a levite descending from Korah. Finally, in Chapter 3, we analyzed the so-called “consensus” that the psalm is post-exilic, noting that there is nothing that makes this irrefutable, and it is more likely that the psalm was composed even at the first temple period, during the reign of Jehoaquim, when the injustice were promoted by the palace, priesthood and land lords. The poor Levite announces his message against this context in which wickedness and social crises dominated the scene of pre-exilic Israel.
