Psalms 49: Wealth Cannot Buy Life

Attributed to the sons of Korah, this psalm calls all people, wealthy and needy, to hear wisdom about riches and death. No one can pay God the price of another's life, but the psalmist trusts God to rescue him from the grave, so the prosperous need not be feared, since they take nothing along when they die.
