Contemporary English Version Anglicised

Psalms 49:16-20 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

16. Don't let it bother youwhen others get richand live in luxury.

17. Soon they will dieand all their wealthwill be left behind.

18. We humans are praisedwhen we do well,and all of us are gladto be alive.

19. But we will each go downto our ancestors,never again to seethe light of day.

20. Our human glory disappears,and, like animals, we die.
