Psalms 49:13 Context
11Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for euer, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their owne names. 12Neuerthelesse man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beastes that perish. 13This their way is their follie; yet their posteritie approue their sayings. Selah. 14Like sheepe they are layd in the graue, death shall feede on them; and the vpright shall haue dominion ouer them in the morning, and their beauty shall consume in the graue, from their dwelling. 15But God will redeeme my soule from the power of the graue; for he shall receiue me. Selah.
