Psalm 49 grabs everyone's attention in the first two verses, where everyone is called to listen.
By verse 5, we are asked why we should fear when trouble comes. Our enemies trust in their earthly wealth and boast of it to others, to elevate themselves among others who are also wicked.
But no one can escape death. No amount of wealth can keep death from knocking on your door.
For those who worship God, we should never feel sorry for ourselves when our enemies grow rich and live in big houses. In death, they take none of it with them.
