Psalm 73:18-20
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.

New International Version
7 From their callous hearts(A) comes iniquity[a];
their evil imaginations have no limits.
8 They scoff, and speak with malice;(B)
with arrogance(C) they threaten oppression.(D)
9 Their mouths lay claim to heaven,
and their tongues take possession of the earth.
10 Therefore their people turn to them
and drink up waters in abundance.[b]
11 They say, “How would God know?
Does the Most High know anything?”
