## Psalms 49:1-5 in Context (Verses 1–8 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/psalms/49/1) Hear this, all *ye* people; give ear, all *ye* inhabitants of the world:*
 
 [2 ](/kjv/psalms/49/2) Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/psalms/49/3) My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart *shall be* of understanding.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/psalms/49/4) I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/psalms/49/5) Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, *when* the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
 
 [6 ](/kjv/psalms/49/6) They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
 
 [7 ](/kjv/psalms/49/7) None *of them* can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
 
 [8 ](/kjv/psalms/49/8) (For the redemption of their soul *is* precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
