Psalms 49:17 in Context — Psalms 49
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.
17 Ne sois pas dans la crainte parce qu’un homme s’enrichit, Parce que les trésors de sa maison se multiplient;
18 Car il n’emporte rien en mourant, Ses trésors ne descendent point après lui.
19 Il aura beau s’estimer heureux pendant sa vie, On aura beau te louer des jouissances que tu te donnes,
