Redeem His Brother (Psalm 49:7)

The Letter Killeth

 

A literally reading of this verse can stir up doubts.

 

"None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:"-Psalm 49:7 KJV 

 

But this redemption is of those who trust in wealth,

 

Not of those who trust in God.

 

For it is God that redeemed the Psalmist in verse 5 and 15.

 

"Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?"-Psalm 49:5 KJV

 

"But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah."-Psalm 49:15 KJV

 

He is the redeemer, the true Holy one without spot + blemish.
