—Psalm 49:1-7
by: Nathanael Lawton.
In verse 7 the ultimate failure of wealth is shown: no matter how rich or poor someone is, he will die, and his wealth cannot change that fact or what will happen to him after he dies. The question in verse 5 is rhetorical; the answer is shown to be “I have no reason to fear.” The reason for that comes out in verse 15 and is effectively, “God will save me when this life ends.”
