Psalm 49 — Psalms 49:10–15

For he shall see it. Wise men die;
The fool and the brutish alike perish,
And leave their wealth to others.

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.

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

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

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.

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