Psalms 49:6-8 in English

⁶ They that trust in their wealth, And boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;

⁷ None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him

⁸ (For the redemption of their life is costly, And it faileth for ever),

⁶ And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge. Pause.

⁷ Hear, my people, and I will speak to thee, O Israel: and I will testify to thee: I am God, thy God.

⁸ I will not reprove thee on account of thy sacrifices; for thy whole-burnt-offerings are before me continually.

⁶ They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;

⁷ None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:

⁸ (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)

⁶ They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;

⁷ None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:

⁸ (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)

⁶ And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge. Pause.

⁷ Hear, my people, and I will speak to you, O Israel: and I will testify to you: I am God, your God.

⁸ I will not reprove you on account of your sacrifices; for your whole burnt offerings are before me continually.

⁶ They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;

⁷ None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:

⁸ (For the redemption of their soul is costly, and must be let alone for ever:)

⁶ by evil men who trust that things will always go well for them because they are wealthy, and who boast about being very rich.

⁷ They may be rich, but no one can pay money with the result that he would live forever! No one can pay God enough so that God will allow him to continue to live,

⁸ because that cost is too grreat, and he will never be able to pay enough

⁶ And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge. Pause.

⁷ Hear, my people, and I will speak to you, O Israel: and I will testify to you: I am God, your God.

⁸ I will not reprove you on account of your sacrifices; for your whole burnt offerings are before me continually.

⁶ Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches—

⁷ none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.

⁸ For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,

⁶ Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches—

⁷ none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.

⁸ For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,

⁶ Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches—

⁷ none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.

⁸ For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,

⁶ Even of those whose faith is in their wealth, and whose hearts are lifted up because of their stores.

⁷ Truly, no man may get back his soul for a price, or give to God the payment for himself;

⁸ (Because it takes a great price to keep his soul from death, and man is not able to give it.)

⁶ They depend upon their wealth, and boast themselves in the abundance of their riches. ...

⁷ None can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him,

⁸ (For the redemption of their soul is costly, and must be given up for ever,)

⁶ And the heavens shall declare his justice: for God is judge.

⁷ Hear, O my people, and I will speak: O Israel, and I will testify to thee: I am God, thy God.

⁸ I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices: and thy burnt offerings are always in my sight.

⁶ They trust in their wealth; they boast about their riches,

⁷ but no one can pay to rescue another from death; no one can pay a ransom to God.

⁸ Redemption is beyond price; no one could ever pay enough

⁶ They trust in their goods, and boast them selues in the multitude of their riches.

⁷ Yet a man can by no meanes redeeme his brother: he can not giue his raunsome to God,

⁸ (So precious is the redemption of their soules, and the continuance for euer)

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

⁷ (49-8) No man can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him —

⁸ (49-9) For too costly is the redemption of their soul, and must be let alone for ever —

⁶ They that trust in their wealth, And boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;

⁷ None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him:

⁸ (For the redemption of their soul is precious, And it ceaseth for ever:)

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.

⁶ And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: For God is judge. Pause.

⁷ Hear, my people, and I will speak to thee, O Israel: And I will testify to thee: I am God, thy God.

⁸ I will not reprove thee on account of thy sacrifices; For thy whole burnt offerings are before me continually.

⁶ They who trust in their riches, And glory in the greatness of their wealth?

⁷ No one can redeem his brother from death, Nor give a ransom for him to God,

⁸ That he should live to eternity, And not see the pit.

⁶ who put their trust in their wealth, and boast of their boundless riches?

⁷ For assuredly no one can ransom themselves, or give to God the price of their life,

⁸ for the ransom of a life is costly, no payment is ever enough,

⁶ who put their trust in their wealth, and boast of their boundless riches?

⁷ For assuredly no one can ransom themselves, or give to God the price of their life,

⁸ for the ransom of a life is costly, no payment is ever enough,

⁶ Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches—

⁷ none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.

⁸ For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,

⁶ Why should I fear those who trust in their wealth and boast about the amount of their riches?

⁷ It is certain that no one can redeem his brother or give God a ransom for him,

⁸ For the redemption of one's life is costly, and no one can pay what we owe.

⁶ Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches—

⁷ none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.

⁸ For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,

⁶ Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches—

⁷ none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.

⁸ For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,

⁶ They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;

⁷ None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:

⁸ (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)

⁶ Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches—

⁷ none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.

⁸ For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,

⁶ Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches—

⁷ none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.

⁸ For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,

⁶ Which trust in their own virtue; and have glory in the multitude of their riches.

⁷ A brother again-buyeth not, shall a man again-buy? and he shall not give to God his pleasing.

⁸ And he shall not be able to give the price of ransom for his soul; and he shall travail into without end,

⁶ Which trust in their own virtue (or They who trust in their wealth); and have glory in the multitude of their riches.

⁷ A brother again-buyeth not, shall a man again-buy? and he shall not give to God his pleasing. (No one shall ever be able to redeem himself; he shall never be able to pay God the price that he asketh for him.)

⁸ And he shall not (be able to) give the price of ransom for his soul; and he shall travail into without end, (Yea, he shall never be able to pay the price of ransom for his own soul; even if he could work forever,)

⁶ Those trusting on their wealth, And in the multitude of their riches, Do shew themselves foolish.

⁷ A brother doth no one at all ransom, He doth not give to God his atonement.

⁸ And precious is the redemption of their soul, And it hath ceased — to the age.
