Psalm 49:8

New English Translation

(the ransom price for a human life is too high, and people go to their final destiny),

See the chapter Copy

Or ‘Deliver me from the enemy’s power, and from the hand of tyrants ransom me’?

Where are your earlier faithful deeds, O Lord, the ones performed in accordance with your reliable oath to David?

For what does it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what can a person give in exchange for his life?
