Psalms 49:1-7

1. 1 Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:

2. 2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.

3. 3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

4. 4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

5. 5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?

6. 6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;

7. 7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
