PSALM 48, Guidance beyond death

Psalm 48:12-15
Walk about Zion and go round about her; count her towers.
Consider well her ramparts; view her citadels
That you may tell it until the final generations.
For this is overwhelming! Our God exists for ever,
and he will lead us beyond death.

Psalm 48:15 The Knox Translation
Such is the God who is our God for ever and ever;
our Shepherd eternally.

Psalm 48 New English Bible verse 12-14
Make the round of Zion in procession
count the numbers of her towers
take a good note of her ramparts,
pass her palaces in review,
that you may tell generations yet to come;
Such is God  our God for ever and ever
he shall be our guide eternally.

Psalm 45:15 Hebrew Text  JPS
For God - He is our God for ever
He will lead us evermore.

Psalm 73(72) The Knox Translation
Thine to guide me with thy counsel
   thine to welcome me into glory at last.

Psalm 49:15  New RSV
But God will ransom my soul from 
           the power of Sheol
     for he will receive me.
