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.
