American Standard Version

Psalm 49:12-17 American Standard Version (ASV)

12. But man being in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish.

13. This their way is their folly: Yet after them men approve their sayings.

14. They are appointed as a flock for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd; And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, That there be no habitation for it.

15. But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol; For he will receive me.

16. Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased.

17. For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; His glory shall not descend after him.
