Psalm 49:13-17 Amplified Bible (AMP)

13. This is the fate of those who are foolishly confident, yet after them men approve their sayings. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

14. Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol (the place of the dead); death shall be their shepherd. And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their form and beauty shall be consumed, for Sheol shall be their dwelling.

15. But God will redeem me from the power of Sheol (the place of the dead); for He will receive me. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

16. Be not afraid when [an ungodly] one is made rich, when the wealth and glory of his house are increased;

17. For when he dies he will carry nothing away; his glory will not descend after him.
