Verse 8 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.

Kann doch einen Bruder niemand erlösen noch ihn Gott versöhnen
(Porque la redención de su vida es de gran precio, Y no se hará jamás;)
—el rescate de su vida es demasiado costoso; tiene que renunciar a él para siempre—,
Le rachat de leur âme est cher, Et n'aura jamais lieu;
E il riscatto della lor propria anima non può trovarsi, E il modo ne mancherà in perpetuo;
(Pois a redenção da sua alma é caríssima, e cessará para sempre),
讓他長遠活著,不見地府 ; 因為贖生命的價值極貴, 只可永遠罷休。
