Psalm 49:18

For though, while he lives, he counts himself blessed—

and though you get praise when you do well for yourself—

Though while they live they count themselves blessed—

and people praise you when you prosper—

Though he blesses himself during his lifetime—

and you are acclaimed when you do well for yourself—

In this life they consider themselves fortunate

and are applauded for their success.

Though he congratulated his soul while he was living

—and people will praise you when you do well for yourself—

Though while he lived he blessed his soul:

And men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
