Psalms 49:2-9

ACV(i) 2 both low and high, rich and poor together. 3 My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding. 4 I will incline my ear to a proverb. I will open my dark saying upon the harp. 5 Why should I fear in the days of evil, when iniquity at my heels encompasses me about? 6 Those who trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude 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 life is costly, and it fails forever), 9 that he should still live always, that he should not see corruption.
