4 I will turn my attention to proverbsand explain their meaning as I play the harp.
5 I am not afraid in times of dangerwhen I am surrounded by enemies,
6 by evil people who trust in their richesand boast of their great wealth.
7 We can never redeem ourselves;we cannot pay God the price for our lives,
8 because the payment for a human life is too great.What we could pay would never be enough
9 to keep us from the grave,to let us live forever.
10 Anyone can see that even the wise die,as well as the foolish and stupid.They all leave their riches to their descendants.
