Psalm 49:6-20
English Standard Version
6 those who (A)trust in their wealth
and boast of the abundance of their riches?
7 Truly no man (B)can ransom another,
or (C)give to God (D)the price of his life,
8 for (E)the ransom of their life is costly
and can never suffice,
9 that he should live on forever
and (F)never see the pit.
10 For he sees (G)that even the wise die;
(H)the fool and the stupid alike must perish
and (I)leave their wealth to others.
11 Their (J)graves are their homes forever,[a]
their dwelling places (K)to all generations,
though they (L)called lands by their own names.
12 Man in his pomp (M)will not remain;
(N)he is like the beasts that perish.
13 This is the path of those who have (O)foolish confidence;
yet after them people approve of their boasts.[b] Selah
14 Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol;
death shall be their shepherd,
and the upright (P)shall rule over them in the morning.
(Q)Their form shall be consumed (R)in Sheol, with no place to dwell.
15 But God will (S)ransom my soul from the power of Sheol,
for he will (T)receive me. Selah
16 Be not afraid when a man becomes rich,
when the glory of his house increases.
17 (U)For when he dies he will (V)carry nothing away;
his glory will not go down after him.
18 For though, while he lives, he counts himself (W)blessed
—and though you get praise when you do well for yourself—
19 his soul will (X)go to the generation of his fathers,
who will never again (Y)see light.
20 (Z)Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish.

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.
