Psalms 37:16

Context

37:16 The little bit that a godly man owns is better than

the wealth of many evil men, 1 

Psalms 49:17

Context

49:17 For he will take nothing with him when he dies;

his wealth will not follow him down into the grave. 2 

1 tn Heb “Better [is] a little to the godly one than the wealth of many evil ones.” The following verses explain why this is true. Though a godly individual may seem to have only meager possessions, he always has what he needs and will eventually possess the land. The wicked may prosper for a brief time, but will eventually be destroyed by divine judgment and lose everything.

2 tn Heb “his glory will not go down after him.”
