From Psalm 48 Douay Rheims

They that trust in their own strength, * and glory in the multitude of their riches,

Nor the price of the redemption of his soul: * and shall labour for ever, and shall still live unto the end.

He shall not see destruction, when he shall see the wise dying: * the senseless and the fool shall perish together:

And they shall leave their riches to strangers: * and their sepulchres shall be their houses for ever.

Their dwelling places to all generations: * they have called their lands by their names.

And man when he was in honour did not understand; * he is compared to senseless beasts, and is become like to them.
