Psalms 49:6-9 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),

⁹ That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption.

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.

⁹ I will take no bullocks out of thine house, nor he-goats out of thy flocks.

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:)

⁹ That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.

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:)

⁹ That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.

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.

⁹ I will take no bullocks out of your house, nor he-goats out of your flocks.

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:)

⁹ That he should still live alway, that he should not see corruption.

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

⁹ with the result that he will live forever and never die and be buried!

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.

⁹ I will take no bullocks out of your house, nor he-goats out of your flocks.

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,

⁹ that he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.

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,

⁹ that he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.

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,

⁹ that he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.

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.)

⁹ So that he might have eternal life, and never see the underworld.

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,)

⁹ That he should still live perpetually, and not see corruption.

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.

⁹ I will not take calves out of thy house: nor he goats out of thy flocks.

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

⁹ that they could live forever and not face the grave.

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)

⁹ That he may liue still for euer, and not see the graue.

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 —

⁹ (49-10) That he should still live alway, that he should not see the pit.

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:)

⁹ That he should still live for ever, And not see corruption.

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?

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.

⁹ I will take no bullocks out of thy house, Nor he-goats out of thy flocks.

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.

⁹ Too costly is the redemption of his life, And he giveth it up for ever.

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,

⁹ to keep them alive for ever and ever, so as never to see the pit at all.

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,

⁹ to keep them alive for ever and ever, so as never to see the pit at all.

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,

⁹ That he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.

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.

⁹ No one can live forever so that his body should not decay.

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,

⁹ that he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.

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,

⁹ that he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.

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:)

⁹ That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.

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,

⁹ that he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.

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,

⁹ that he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.

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,

⁹ and he shall live yet into the end. He shall not see perishing,

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,)

⁹ and he shall live yet into the end. He shall not see perishing, (so that he would live forever, and not see perishing, or corruption.)

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.

⁹ And still he liveth for ever, He seeth not the pit.
