Psalms 49:5-9

5Why should I 1fear in days of adversity, When the injustice of those who betray me surrounds me,6Those who 2trust in their wealth And boast in the abundance of their riches?7No one can by any means 3redeem another Or give God a 4ransom for him--8For 5the redemption of 6his soul is priceless, And he should cease imagining forever--9That he might 7live on eternally, That he might not 89undergo decay.
