Psalm
Chapters 49:5-11
New International Version Anglicized
5Why should I fear when evil days come,when wicked deceivers surround me –
6those who trust in their wealthand boast of their great riches?
7No one can redeem the life of anotheror give to God a ransom for them –
8the ransom for a life is costly,no payment is ever enough –
9so that they should live on for everand not see decay.
10For all can see that the wise die,that the foolish and the senseless also perish,leaving their wealth to others.
11Their tombs will remain their houses for ever,their dwellings for endless generations,though they had named lands after themselves.
