| Psalms 49:8 | (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:) | For the redemption of their life is costly, No payment is ever enough, | (Because it takes a great price to keep his soul from death, and man is not able to give it.) | And precious [is] the redemption of their soul, And it hath ceased to the age. |

They call their lands after their own names. | The place of the dead is their house for ever, and their resting-place through all generations; those who come after them give their names to their lands. | Their heart [is]: Their houses [are] to the age, Their tabernacles to all generations. They proclaimed their names over the lands. |

(Selah.) | This their way [is] folly for them, And their posterity with their sayings are pleased. Selah. |

Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, That there be no habitation for it. | Death will give them their food like sheep; the underworld is their fate and they will go down into it; their flesh is food for worms; their form is wasted away; the underworld is their resting-place for ever. | As sheep for Sheol they have set themselves, Death doth afflict them, And the upright rule over them in the morning, And their form [is] for consumption. Sheol [is] a dwelling for him. |
