Selah. 14Like sheep are they laid in Sheol: Death feedeth on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their comeliness shall be for Sheol to consume, that there be no habitation for them. 15ButGod will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol: for he will receive me. Selah. 16Be not afraid when a man becometh rich, when the glory of his house is increased: 17For when he dieth, he shall carry nothing away; his glory shall not descend after him. 18Though he blessed his soul in his lifetime, — and men will praise thee when thou doest well to thyself, — 19It shall go to the generation of his fathers: they shall never see light. 20Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish. ‹Previous chapterPsalms 48Next chapterPsalms 50›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsPsalms 49 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
