Darby Translation 1890

Psalms 49:15-20 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

15. But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol: for he will receive me. Selah.

16. Be not afraid when a man becometh 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.

18. Though he blessed his soul in his lifetime, --and men will praise thee when thou doest well to thyself, --

19. It shall go to the generation of his fathers: they shall never see light.

20. Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
