Psalms 49:5-10

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.

⁹(49:10) And should he still live for ever? not see the pit?

¹⁰(49:11) For he must see that wise men die, that together the fool and the brutish person perish and leave to others their wealth.
