Psalm 49:13-15
Complete Jewish Bible
13 (12) But people, even rich ones, will live only briefly;
then, like animals, they will die.
14 (13) This is the manner of life of the foolish
and those who come after, approving their words. (Selah)
15 (14) Like sheep, they are destined for Sh’ol;
death will be their shepherd.
The upright will rule them in the morning;
and their forms will waste away in Sh’ol,
until they need no dwelling.
Psalm 49:13-15
New International Version
13 This is the fate of those who trust in themselves,(A)
and of their followers, who approve their sayings.[a]
14 They are like sheep and are destined(B) to die;(C)
death will be their shepherd
(but the upright will prevail(D) 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;(E)
he will surely take me to himself.(F)
