New Living Translation

Psalms 49:9-15 New Living Translation (NLT)

9. to live foreverand never see the grave.

10. Those who are wise must finally die,just like the foolish and senseless,leaving all their wealth behind.

11. The grave is their eternal home,where they will stay forever.They may name their estates after themselves,

12. but their fame will not last.They will die, just like animals.

13. This is the fate of fools,though they are remembered as being wise.Interlude

14. Like sheep, they are led to the grave,where death will be their shepherd.In the morning the godly will rule over them.Their bodies will rot in the grave,far from their grand estates.

15. But as for me, God will redeem my life.He will snatch me from the power of the grave.Interlude
