But God Will Ransom My Soul (Psalm 49): Wealth, Death, and the Only Price That Pays

Psalm 49 summons every class of people to face this reality: riches cannot ransom a soul from death. “Man in his pomp… is like the beasts that perish,” but “God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol.” The psalm exposes the folly of trusting wealth, steadies believers not to fear the prosperous, and points to Christ—the priceless ransom paid not with silver or gold but with His precious blood—so that we rest our hope in Him and not in riches.
