In context
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. Selah.
16 Don’t be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
17 for when he dies he will carry nothing away. His glory won’t descend after him.
18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul— and men praise you when you do well for yourself—
19 he shall go to the generation of his fathers. They shall never see the light.
