Psalms 49:3-8

³(49:4) My mouth shall speak wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

⁴(49:5) I will incline my ear to a parable: I will open with the harp my riddle.

⁵(49:6) Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my oppressors encompasseth me?—

⁶(49:7) Of those that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves of the multitude of their riches?

⁷(49:8) No one can in any wise redeem his brother, nor can he give to God redemption money for himself;

⁸(49:9) For the ransom of their soul is too costly, and it is omitted for ever.
