Psalms 49:2-9
Psalms 49:2-9 CSB
both low and high, rich and poor together. My mouth speaks wisdom; my heart’s meditation brings understanding. I turn my ear to a proverb; I explain my riddle with a lyre. Why should I fear in times of trouble? The iniquity of my foes surrounds me. They trust in their wealth and boast of their abundant riches. Yet these cannot redeem a person or pay his ransom to God — since the price of redeeming him is too costly, one should forever stop trying , — so that he may live forever and not see the Pit.
