Psalms 49:7

⁵ Why should I fear in times of trouble, when wicked usurpers surround me?

⁶ They trust in their wealth and boast in their great riches.

No man can possibly redeem his brother or pay his ransom to God.

⁸ For the redemption of his soul is costly, and never can payment suffice,

⁹ that he should live on forever and not see decay.
