Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?

Verse 5 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.

Ich will einem Spruch mein Ohr neigen und kundtun mein Rätsel beim Klange der Harfe.
¿Por qué he de temer en los días de adversidad, Cuando la iniquidad de mis insidiadores me cercare?
¿Por qué he de temer en los días malos, cuando me rodea la maldad de los que me acechan,
Pourquoi craindrais-je aux jours du malheur, Lorsque l'iniquité de mes adversaires m'enveloppe?
Perchè temerò ne’ giorni dell’avversità Quando l’iniquità che mi è alle calcagna m’intornierà?
Por que temerei eu nos dias maus, quando me cercar a iniqüidade dos que me armam ciladas?
在患難的日子,追逼我的人的奸惡 環繞我, 我何必懼怕?
