Psalms and Wisdom: Psalm 49 Psalm 49 (Listen) Why Should I Fear in Times of Trouble? To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. 49 Hear this, all peoples!<br /> Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,<br />2 both low and high,<br /> rich and poor together!<br />3 My mouth shall speak wisdom;<br /> the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.<br />4 I will incline my ear to a proverb;<br /> I will solve my riddle to the music of the lyre.<br /> 5 Why should I fear in times of trouble,<br /> when the iniquity of those who cheat me surrounds me,<br />6 those who trust in their wealth<br /> and boast of the abundance of their riches?<br />7 Truly no man can ransom another,<br /> or give to God the price of his life,<br />8 for the ransom of their life is costly<br /> and can never suffice,<br />9 that he should live on forever<br /> and never see the pit.<br /> 10 For he sees that even the wise die;<br />
