Psalm 49:11–20

11  pTheir inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever,

And their dwelling places †to all generations;

They qcall their lands after their own names.

12  Nevertheless rman being in honour abideth not:

sHe is like the beasts that perish.

13  This their way is their ssfolly:

Yet their posterity †approve their sayings. Selah.

14  Like sheep they are laid in the grave;

Death shall feed on them;

And the upright tshall have dominion over them in the morning;

And utheir ||beauty shall consume ||in the grave from their dwelling.

15  But God wwill redeem my soul †from the power of ||the grave:

For xhe shall receive me. Selah.

16  Be not thou afraid when one is made rich,

When the glory of his house is increased;

17  yFor when he dieth he shall carry nothing away:

His glory shall not descend after him.

18  Though †while he lived zhe blessed his soul:

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

19  †He shall ago to the generation of his fathers;

They shall never see blight.

20  cMan that is in honour, and understandeth not,

Is like the beasts that perish.
