Contextual Overview

⁶ They trust in their money and brag about their riches. ⁷ No one can buy back the life of another. No one can pay God for his own life, ⁸ because the price of a life is high. No payment is ever enough. ⁹ Do people live forever? Don't they all face death? ¹⁰ See, even wise people die. Fools and stupid people also die and leave their wealth to others. ¹¹ Their graves will always be their homes. They will live there from now on, even though they named places after themselves. ¹² Even rich people do not live forever; like the animals, people die. ¹³ This is what will happen to those who trust in themselves and to their followers who believe them. Selah ¹⁴ Like sheep, they must die, and death will be their shepherd. Honest people will rule over them in the morning, and their bodies will rot in a grave far from home.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

They that trust in their wealth,.... In their outward force, power, and strength; their horses, chariots, and armies; see

Psalms 33:16; or in their worldly goods and substance; which seems to be the sense of the word here, as appears from

Psalms 49:10. To "trust" in them is to set the eye and heart upon them; or to take up rest in them, to depend on them, to the neglect of divine Providence, with respect to future living in this world; and to expect eternal happiness hereafter, because favoured with many earthly enjoyments here: so to do is evil. Therefore the Targum is, "woe to the wicked that trust in their substance". And it is also very weak and foolish to trust in riches, since they are uncertain, are here today, and gone tomorrow; and are unsatisfying, he that has much would still have more: nor can they deliver from evil, from present judgments, from the sword, the pestilence, and famine; nor from death, nor from the future judgment, and wrath to come; and are often injurious to the spiritual and eternal welfare of men; see 1 Timothy 6:9;

and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; of their acquisition of them by their own diligence and industry; and of their having them because of some peculiar virtue and excellency in themselves; and of the abundance of them. Such rejoicing and boasting is evil; since riches are the gifts of God, the blessings of his Providence; and are often bestowed on persons neither wise nor diligent, and much less deserving; see Jeremiah 9:23. The whole may be applied to the Romish antichrist and his followers, who trust in and boast of their temporal riches, which in one hour will come to nought,

Revelation 18:7; and of the treasure of the church, of merit; and works of supererogation; with all which they cannot redeem one soul from ruin and destruction, as follows:

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

They that trust in their wealth - The first reason why there was no cause of alarm is drawn Psalms 49:6-10 from the “powerlessness” of wealth, as illustrated by the fact that it can do nothing to save life or to prevent death. He refers to those who possess it as “trusting” in their wealth, or “relying on” that as the source of their power.

And boast themselves - Pride themselves; or feel conscious of safety and strength because they are rich. It is the “power” which wealth is supposed to confer, that is alluded to here.

In the multitude of their riches - The abundance of their wealth.
