King James Version
"Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?"
— Psalms 49:5, King James Version
“Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, When iniquity at my heels compasseth me about? ”
“Why should I fear in the days of evil, when iniquity at my heels surrounds me?”
“Why should I be afraid in times of trouble, when the sinful deeds of deceptive men threaten to overwhelm me?”
“Gather ye together his saints to him: who set his covenant before sacrifices.”
“What cause have I for fear in the days of evil, when the evil-doing of those who are working for my downfall is round about me?”
“Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?”
Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
(For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
