| 11Their tombs will remain their houses forever, their dwellings for endless generations, though they had named lands after themselves. | 11Their graves are their homes forever, their dwelling places to all generations, though they called lands by their own names. | 11Their inner thought is that their houses are forever And their dwelling places to all generations; They have called their lands after their own names. | 11Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names. | 11Their graves are their eternal homes, their homes from generation to generation, though they have named estates after themselves. |

| 13This is the fate of those who trust in themselves, and of their followers, who approve their sayings. | 13This is the path of those who have foolish confidence; yet after them people approve of their boasts.

Selah. | 13This is the way of those who are arrogant, and of their followers, who approve of their words. Selah |
| 14They are like sheep and are destined to die; death will be their shepherd (but the upright will prevail over them in the morning). Their forms will decay in the grave, far from their princely mansions. | 14Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol; death shall be their shepherd, and the upright shall rule over them in the morning. Their form shall be consumed in Sheol, with no place to dwell. | 14As sheep they are appointed for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd; And the upright shall rule over them in the morning, And their form shall be for Sheol to consume So that they have no habitation. | 14Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling. | 14Like sheep they are headed for Sheol; Death will shepherd them. The upright will rule over them in the morning, and their form will waste away in Sheol, far from their lofty abode. |
| 15But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead; he will surely take me to himself. | 15But God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. Selah | 15But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, For He will receive me. Selah. | 15But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah. | 15But God will redeem my life from the power of Sheol, for He will take me. Selah |
| 16Do not be overawed when others grow rich, when the splendor of their houses increases; | 16Be not afraid when a man becomes rich, when the glory of his house increases. | 16Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich, When the glory of his house is increased; | 16Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; | 16Do not be afraid when a man gets rich, when the wealth of his house increases. |
| 17for they will take nothing with them when they die, their splendor will not descend with them. | 17For when he dies he will carry nothing away; his glory will not go down after him. | 17For when he dies he will carry nothing away; His glory will not descend after him. | 17For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him. | 17For when he dies, he will take nothing at all; his wealth will not follow him down. |
| 18Though while they live they count themselves blessed-- and people praise you when you prosper-- | 18For though, while he lives, he counts himself blessed—and though you get praise when you do well for yourself— | 18Though while he lives he congratulates himself-- And though men praise you when you do well for yourself-- | 18Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself. | 18Though he praises himself during his lifetime-- and people praise you when you do well for yourself-- |
| 19they will join those who have gone before them, who will never again see the light of life. | 19his soul will go to the generation of his fathers, who will never again see light. | 19He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They will never see the light. | 19He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light. | 19he will go to the generation of his fathers; they will never see the light. |
| 20People who have wealth but lack understanding are like the beasts that perish. | 20Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish. | 20Man in his pomp, yet without understanding, Is like the beasts that perish. | 20Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish. | 20A man with valuable possessions but without understanding is like the animals that perish. |
