Psalm 49:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ Why should I be afraid when trouble comes?
    Why should I fear when sinners are all around me?
    They are the kind of people who want to take advantage of me.
⁶ They trust in their wealth.
    They brag about how rich they are.
⁷ No one can pay for the life of anyone else.
    No one can give God what that would cost.
