Psalm 49:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ Don’t get too upset when other people become rich.
    Don’t be troubled when they become more and more wealthy.
¹⁷ They won’t take anything with them when they die.
    Their riches won’t go down to the grave with them.
¹⁸ While they lived, they believed they were blessed.
    People praised them when things were going well for them.
