Psalms 49:1-10 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. Listen to this, all you nations.Listen, all you who live on earth.

2. Listen, both great and small,rich and poor together.

3. What I say is wise.My heart speaks with understanding.

4. I will pay attention to a wise saying.I will explain my riddle on the harp.

5. Why should I be afraid of bad days?Why should I fear when evil men surround me?

6. They trust in their money.They brag about their riches.

7. No one can buy back the life of another person.No one can pay God for his own life.

8. The price of a life is high.No payment is ever enough.

9. Do people live forever?Don’t they all face death?

10. See, even wise men die.Fools and stupid people also die.They leave their wealth to others.
