Psalm 49:5-7
Evangelical Heritage Version
The Limitations of Riches
5 Why should I fear days of trouble,
days when the wickedness of my pursuers surrounds me?[a]
6 They trust in their wealth.
They place their confidence in the abundance of their riches.
7 But no one can by any means redeem himself.[b]
He cannot give God a ransom for himself—
Footnotes
- Psalm 49:5 The line is unclear. The Hebrew reads the wickedness of my heels surrounds me.
- Psalm 49:7 The translation follows a few Hebrew manuscripts. Many Hebrew manuscripts read he cannot redeem a brother.
