Psalm 49 is a wisdom psalm that calls all people—rich and poor alike—to reckon with the limits of wealth and the certainty of death. It reminds us that money cannot ransom a life or provide lasting security, for every person must eventually leave everything behind. True hope is found not in riches, but in God alone, who has the power to redeem the soul from the grave.
