15
But God will redeem my life from the power of Sheol, for He will take me. Selah
Psalms 49:15 In-Context
13
This is the fate of those who trust in themselves, and of their followers, who approve their sayings.
14
They are like sheep and are destined to die; death will be their shepherd (but the upright will prevail 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; he will surely take me to himself.
16
Do not be overawed when others grow rich, when the splendor of their houses increases;
17
for they will take nothing with them when they die, their splendor will not descend with them.
