Psalm 49:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 They trust in their [a]goods, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches.
7 Yet a man can by no means redeem his brother: he cannot give his ransom to God,
8 (So [b]precious is the redemption of their souls, [c]and the continuance forever)

- Psalm 49:6 To trust in riches is mere madness, seeing they can neither restore life, nor prolong it.
- Psalm 49:8 That is, so rare or not to be found, as prophecy was precious in the days of Eli, 1 Sam. 3:1.
- Psalm 49:8 Meaning, it is impossible to live forever: also that life and death are only in God’s hands.
