But man, despite his riches, does not endure;

he is like the beasts that perish.
This is the fate of those who trust in themselves,
and of their followers, who approve their sayings.
Selah
Like sheep they are destined for the grave,
and death will feed on them.
The upright will rule over them in the morning;
their forms will decay in the grave,
far from their princely mansions.
But God will redeem my life from the grave;
he will surely take me to himself.

Psalm 49
