Both low and high, rich and poor, together.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 49 of Psalms. Psalm 49 adopts a wisdom tone and addresses the inability of wealth to rescue human beings from death. Rich and poor ultimately share the same mortal condition, so accumulating possessions is not a definitive guarantee. The psalmist contrasts the destiny of those who trust in their possessions with the hope that God can redeem life. Wisdom consists in recognizing the limitations of wealth before death.

Höret zu, alle Völker; merket auf, alle, die in dieser Zeit leben,
Así los plebeyos como los nobles, El rico y el pobre juntamente.
tanto la gente común como los nobles, el rico y el pobre juntos.
Petits et grands, Riches et pauvres!
E plebei, e nobili, E ricchi, e bisognosi tutti insieme.
Tanto baixos como altos, tanto ricos como pobres.
