[A]lthough [...] Ps 49:12c has not been understood as a cultic expression for invoking the deceased, the evidence points to two reasons for seeing this connotation. First, this expression appears as a cultic term for religious invocation or acknowledgement. Second, the psalm is replete with language and imagery pertaining to the dead; this includes the idiomatic language for graves in v. 12a. The rich maintain the ancestral cult first with their burials, their "eternal homes" (Ps 49:12a-b). The rich wrongly comfort themselves by indulging in the custom of summoning their deceased ancestors (Ps 49:12c).
