Psalms 49:18
Compare all
16 Do not be afraid when one becomes rich,
When the glory of his house is increased;
17 For when he dies he shall carry nothing away;
His glory shall not descend after him.
18 Though while he lives ahe blesses himself
(For men will praise you when you do well for yourself), 
19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers;
They shall never see alight. 
20 A man who is in honor, yet does not understand,
aIs like the beasts that perish.

Psalms 49:18

He blessed his soul - He did all he could to procure himself animal gratifications, and he was applauded for it; for it is the custom of the world to praise them who pay most attention to their secular interest; and he who attends most to the concerns of his soul is deemed weak and foolish, and is often persecuted by an ungodly world.
