Commentary on Psalms 49:12
The verdict: 'Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.' Despite status, humans share animals' mortality. 'Abideth not' (lo yalin) suggests not spending the night--honor is temporary, like a guest who departs. The comparison to beasts emphasizes physical death common to all creatures.
