| Psalms 49:7 | None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him; | Truly, no man may get back his soul for a price, or give to God the payment for himself; | | Hear, O my people, and I will speak: O Israel, and I will testify to thee: I am God, thy God. |
| Psalms 49:8 | (For the redemption of their life is costly, And it faileth for ever;) | (Because it takes a great price to keep his soul from death, and man is not able to give it.) | | I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices: and thy burnt offerings are always in my sight. |

| Psalms 49:13 | This their way is their folly: Yet after them men approve their sayings.

| Psalms 49:15 | But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol; For he will receive me. Selah | But God will get back my soul; for he will take me from the power of death. (Selah.) | | And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. |
