Psalms 49:4-9 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

4. I will turn my attention to proverbsand explain their meaning as I play the harp.

5. I am not afraid in times of dangerwhen I am surrounded by enemies,

6. by evil people who trust in their richesand boast of their great wealth.

7. A person can never redeem himself;he cannot pay God the price for his life,

8. because the payment for a human life is too great.What he could pay would never be enough

9. to keep him from the grave,to let him live for ever.
