Psalms 49:13-18 Modern English Version (MEV)

13. This is their way, it is their folly;yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah

14. Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol;Death shall be their shepherd;the upright shall rule over them in the morning,and their form shall waste away in Sheol,far from their dwelling.

15. But God shall redeem my soul from the power of Sheol,for He shall receive me. Selah

16. Do not fear when one is made rich,when the glory of his house is increased,

17. for he takes nothing away in death;his glory does not descend after him.

18. Though while he lives he blesses his soul—and men will praise you when you do well for yourself—
