Psalms 49:4-9 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

4. I listened to these sayings. And now, with my harp, I will sing and make the hidden meaning clear.

5. Why should I be afraid when trouble comes? There is no need to fear when evil enemies surround me.

6. They think their wealth will protect them. They brag about how rich they are.

7. But no one has enough to buy back a life, and you cannot bribe God.

8. You will never get enough money to pay for your own life.

9. You will never have enough to buy the right to live forever and keep your body out of the grave.
