Psalms 49

11  Their inward thought is, `that' their houses `shall continue' for ever, `And' their dwelling-places to all generations; They call their lands after their own names.

12  But man `being' in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish.

13  This their way is their folly: Yet after them men approve their sayings. Selah

14  They are appointed as a flock for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd; And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, That there be no habitation for it.

15  But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol; For he will receive me. Selah

16  Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased.

17  For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; His glory shall not descend after him.

18  Though while he lived he blessed his soul (And men praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself,)

19  He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see the light.

20  Man that is in honor, and understandeth not, Is like the beasts that perish. Psalm 50 A Psalm of Asaph.
