Psalms 49:2-9

EJ2000(i) 2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together. 3 My mouth shall speak wisdom; and the meditation of my heart intelligence. 4 I will incline mine ear to a parable; I will declare my enigma upon the harp. 5 Why should I fear in the days of adversity when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about? 6 ¶ Those that trust in their wealth and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; 7 none of them can by any means ransom his brother, nor give God an atonement for him; 8 (for the redemption of their soul is of great price, and they shall never pay it) 9 that he should still live for ever and not see corruption.
