Commentary for Psalms 49:19

כִּֽי־נַ֭פְשׁוֹ בְּחַיָּ֣יו יְבָרֵ֑ךְ וְ֝יוֹדֻ֗ךָ כִּי־תֵיטִ֥יב לָֽךְ׃

Though while he lived he blessed his soul: 'Men will praise thee, when thou shalt do well to thyself';

Rashi on Psalms

Because in his lifetime he blesses himself The wicked man blesses himself during his lifetime and says, “All will be well with you, my soul. No harm will befall you.” But others do not say so about him.
