Psalm 49:13-15
Contemporary English Version
Psalm 49:13-15
Contemporary English Version
13 Here is what happens to fools
and to those who trust
the words of fools:[a]
14 They are like sheep
with death as their shepherd,
leading them to the grave.
In the morning God's people
will walk all over them,[b]
as their bodies lie rotting
in their home, the grave.
15 But God will rescue me
from the power of death.
Psalm 49:13-15
New International Version
Psalm 49:13-15
New International Version
13 This is the fate of those who trust in themselves,(A)
and of their followers, who approve their sayings.[a]
14 They are like sheep and are destined(B) to die;(C)
death will be their shepherd
(but the upright will prevail(D) over them in the morning).
Their forms will decay in the grave,
far from their princely mansions.
15 But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead;(E)
he will surely take me to himself.(F)
