Psalms 49:14 in Context — Psalms 49
12 Ils s’imaginent que leurs maisons seront éternelles, Que leurs demeures subsisteront d’âge en âge, Eux dont les noms sont honorés sur la terre.
13 Mais l’homme qui est en honneur n’a point de durée, Il est semblable aux bêtes que l’on égorge.
14 Telle est leur voie, leur folie, Et ceux qui les suivent se plaisent à leurs discours. — Pause.
15 Comme un troupeau, ils sont mis dans le séjour des morts, La mort en fait sa pâture; Et bientôt les hommes droits les foulent aux pieds, Leur beauté s’évanouit, le séjour des morts est leur demeure.
16 Mais Dieu sauvera mon âme du séjour des morts, Car il me prendra sous sa protection. — Pause.
