Psalm 49:5-9
New King James Version
Psalm 49:5-9
New King James Version
5 Why should I fear in the days of evil,
When the iniquity at my heels surrounds me?
6 Those who (A)trust in their wealth
And boast in the multitude of their riches,
7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother,
Nor (B)give to God a ransom for him—
8 For (C)the redemption of their souls is costly,
And it shall cease forever—
9 That he should continue to live eternally,
And (D)not [a]see the Pit.

Psalm 49:5-9
New International Version
5 Why should I fear(A) when evil days come,
when wicked deceivers surround me—
6 those who trust in their wealth(B)
and boast(C) of their great riches?(D)
7 No one can redeem the life of another
or give to God a ransom for them—
8 the ransom(E) for a life is costly,
no payment is ever enough—(F)
9 so that they should live on(G) forever
and not see decay.(H)
