Psalm 49:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁵ Why should I fear in times of trouble,
    when the iniquity of my persecutors surrounds me,
⁶ those who trust in their wealth
    and boast of the abundance of their riches?
⁷ Truly, no ransom avails for one’s life,^[a]
    there is no price one can give to God for it.
