New Testament

Psalms 49:4-9 New English Translation (NET)

4. I will learn a song that imparts wisdom;I will then sing my insightful song to the accompaniment of a harp.

5. Why should I be afraid in times of trouble,when the sinful deeds of deceptive men threaten to overwhelm me?

6. They trust in their wealthand boast in their great riches.

7. Certainly a man cannot rescue his brother;he cannot pay God an adequate ransom price

8. (the ransom price for a human life is too high,and people go to their final destiny),

9. so that he might continue to live foreverand not experience death.
