Selah.\n \n14\u00a0Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.\n \n15\u00a0But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.\n \n16\u00a0Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;\n \n17\u00a0For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.\n \n18\u00a0Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.\n \n19\u00a0He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.\n \n20\u00a0Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.","title":"King James Version: Psalms: Psalms Chapter 49","type":"page"}
