Verse 7 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.

die sich verlassen auf ihr Gut und trotzen auf ihren großen Reichtum?
Ninguno de ellos podrá en manera alguna redimir al hermano, Ni dar a Dios su rescate.
Ils ne peuvent se racheter l'un l'autre, Ni donner à Dieu le prix du rachat.
Niuno però può riscuotere il suo fratello, Nè dare a Dio il prezzo del suo riscatto.
Nenhum deles de modo algum pode remir a seu irmão, ou dar a Deus o resgate dele
沒有一個能贖自己的弟兄 , 能將贖價給上帝,
