New King James Version

Psalms 49:7-11 New King James Version (NKJV)

7. None of them can by any means redeem his brother,Nor give to God a ransom for him—

8. For the redemption of their souls is costly,And it shall cease forever—

9. That he should continue to live eternally,And not see the Pit.

10. For he sees wise men die;Likewise the fool and the senseless person perish,And leave their wealth to others.

11. Their inner thought is that their houses will last forever,Their dwelling places to all generations;They call their lands after their own names.
