Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.

Verse 11 is found in chapter 49 of Psalms. Psalm 49 adopts a wisdom tone and addresses the inability of wealth to rescue human beings from death. Rich and poor ultimately share the same mortal condition, so accumulating possessions is not a definitive guarantee. The psalmist contrasts the destiny of those who trust in their possessions with the hope that God can redeem life. Wisdom consists in recognizing the limitations of wealth before death.

Denn man wird sehen, daß die Weisen sterben sowohl als die Toren und Narren umkommen und müssen ihr Gut andern lassen.
En su interior tienen que sus casas serán eternas, Y sus habitaciones para generación y generación: Llamaron sus tierras de sus nombres.
Piensan que sus casas durarán para siempre, sus moradas de generación en generación; dan sus nombres a sus tierras.
Ils s'imaginent que leurs maisons seront éternelles, Que leurs demeures subsisteront d'âge en âge, Eux dont les noms sont honorés sur la terre.
Il loro intimo pensiero è che le lor case dimoreranno in eterno, E che le loro abitazioni dureranno per ogni età; Impongono i nomi loro a delle terre.
O seu pensamento interior é que as suas casas serão perpétuas e as suas habitações de geração em geração; dão às suas terras os seus próprios nomes.
他們雖以自己的名叫自己的地, 墳墓卻作他們永遠的家, 作他們世世代代的居所。
