Psalms 49:9 Really! There’s no such thing as self-rescue, pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. The cost of rescue is beyond our means, and even then it doesn’t guarantee Life forever, or insurance against the That he should live on eternally, That he should not undergo decay. to live forever and never see the grave. That he should still live for ever, And not see corruption. Do people live forever? Don’t they all face death? That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption. so that they should live on forever and not see decay. So that he should live on eternally, That he should never see the pit (grave) and undergo decay. A soul’s redemption is too costly and precious for anyone to pay with earthly wealth. The price to pay is never enough to purchase eternal life for even one, to keep them out of hell. that he should live on forever and never see the pit.
