Psalms 49:2-9

Leeser(i) 2 (49:3) Both the sons of the low and the sons of the high, rich and needy, altogether. 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. 9 (49:10) And should he still live for ever? not see the pit?
