Psalm 49:5-8 American Standard Version (ASV)

5. Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, When iniquity at my heels compasseth me about?

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

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

8. (For the redemption of their life is costly, And it faileth for ever;)
