Psalms 49:9

so that he might continue to live ¹  forever and not experience death. ² 

that he should live on for ever and not see decay.

That he should live on eternally, That he should not undergo decay.

to live forever and never see the grave.

Life forever, or insurance against the Black Hole.

So that he might have eternal life, and never see the underworld.

that one should live on forever and never see the grave.

That he should continue to live eternally, And not see the Pit.

so that he might continue to live ¹  forever and not experience death. ² 

¹ tn The jussive verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive is taken as indicating purpose/result in relation to the statement made in v. 8. (On this use of the jussive after an imperfect, see GKC 322 §109.f.) In this case v. 8 is understood as a parenthetical comment.

² tn Heb “see the Pit.” The Hebrew term שַׁחַת (shakhat, “pit”) is often used as a title for Sheol (see Pss 16:10; 30:9; 55:24; 103:4).
