Psalm 49:6-20
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 those who trust in their wealth
and boast of the abundance of their riches?(A)
7 Truly, no ransom avails for one’s life;[a]
there is no price one can give to God for it.(B)
8 For the ransom of life is costly
and can never suffice,(C)
9 that one should live on forever
and never see the Pit.(D)
10 When we look at the wise, they die;
fool and dolt perish together
and leave their wealth to others.(E)
11 Their graves[b] are their homes forever,
their dwelling places to all generations,
though they named lands their own.(F)
12 Mortals cannot abide in their pomp;
they are like the animals that perish.(G)
13 Such is the fate of the foolhardy,
the end of those[c] who are pleased with their lot. Selah(H)
14 Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol;
Death shall be their shepherd;
straight to the grave they descend,[d]
and their form shall waste away;
Sheol shall be their home.[e](I)
15 But God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol,
for he will receive me. Selah(J)
16 Do not be afraid when some become rich,
when the wealth of their houses increases.(K)
17 For when they die they will carry nothing away;
their wealth will not go down after them.(L)
18 Though in their lifetime they count themselves happy
—for you are praised when you do well for yourself—(M)
19 they[f] will go to the company of their ancestors,
who will never again see the light.(N)
20 Mortals cannot abide in their pomp;
they are like the animals that perish.(O)
Psalm 49:6-20
New International Version
Psalm 49:6-20
New International Version
6 those who trust in their wealth(A)
and boast(B) of their great riches?(C)
7 No one can redeem the life of another
or give to God a ransom for them—
8 the ransom(D) for a life is costly,
no payment is ever enough—(E)
9 so that they should live on(F) forever
and not see decay.(G)
10 For all can see that the wise die,(H)
that the foolish and the senseless(I) also perish,
leaving their wealth(J) to others.(K)
11 Their tombs(L) will remain their houses[a] forever,
their dwellings for endless generations,(M)
though they had[b] named(N) lands after themselves.
13 This is the fate of those who trust in themselves,(Q)
and of their followers, who approve their sayings.[c]
14 They are like sheep and are destined(R) to die;(S)
death will be their shepherd
(but the upright will prevail(T) over them in the morning).
Their forms will decay in the grave,
far from their princely mansions.
15 But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead;(U)
he will surely take me to himself.(V)
16 Do not be overawed when others grow rich,
when the splendor of their houses increases;
17 for they will take nothing(W) with them when they die,
their splendor will not descend with them.(X)
18 Though while they live they count themselves blessed—(Y)
and people praise you when you prosper—
19 they will join those who have gone before them,(Z)
who will never again see the light(AA) of life.
