Who may go up to his holy dwelling place?

his wealth will not follow him down into the grave. ³

and the valleys went down –

to the place you appointed for them. ⁴

[49:17]  ³ tn Heb “his glory will not go down after him.”

[104:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “from your shout they fled, from the sound of your thunder they hurried off.”
