Was thinking about this passage today; especially the latter part of verse 11, and went awestruck at the relevance scripture has today in this world and age we're living in. Truly 2 Peter 1:3 playing out before my eyes. Danke, Lord.
Psalms 49:5-12
"Why should I fear when evil days come,
when wicked deceivers surround me—
6
those who trust in their wealth
and boast of their great riches?
7
No one can redeem the life of another
or give to God a ransom for them—
8
the ransom for a life is costly,
no payment is ever enough—
9
so that they should live on forever
and not see decay.
10
For all can see that the wise die,
that the foolish and the senseless also perish,
leaving their wealth to others.
11
Their tombs will remain their houses forever,
their dwellings for endless generations,
though they had[c] named lands after themselves.
12
People, despite their wealth, do not endure;
they are like the beasts that perish."
