Contextual Overview
6 (48-7) They that trust in their own strength, and glory in the multitude of their riches, 7 (48-8) No brother can redeem, nor shall man redeem: he shall not give to God his ransom, 8 (48-9) Nor the price of the redemption of his soul: and shall labour for ever, 9 (48-10) And shall still live unto the end. 10 (48-11) He shall not see destruction, when he shall see the wise dying: the senseless and the fool shall perish together: And they shall leave their riches to strangers: 11 (48-12) And their sepulchres shall be their houses for ever. Their dwelling places to all generations: they have called their lands by their names. 12 (48-13) And man when he was in honour did not understand; he is compared to senseless beasts, and is become like to them. 13 (48-14) This way of theirs is a stumblingblock to them: and afterwards they shall delight in their mouth. 14 (48-15) They are laid in hell like sheep: death shall feed upon them. And the just shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their help shall decay in hell from their glory.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
That he should still live for ever,.... Or "though he should live", c. w. Though the rich man should live ever so long, a thousand years twice told, as in Ecclesiastes 6:6 yet he could not in all this time, with all his riches, redeem his brother; and at last must die himself, and so must his brother too, as his own experience and observation may assure him, Psalms 49:10. Or the meaning is, he cannot so redeem his brother, or give to God a ransom for him, that he should live a corporeal life for ever, and never die; since all men die, wise men and fools, rich and poor; and much less that he should live and enjoy an "eternal life", as the Targum; a life of happiness and bliss hereafter, which is not to be obtained by gold and silver, but is the pure gift of God;
[and] not see corruption; the grave, the pit of corruption, the house appointed for all living: or "the judgment of hell", according to the Chaldee paraphrase.
w ×××× "etiamsi vivat", Gejerus.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
That he should still live for ever - That his brother whom he could not redeem - or that he himself - should not die, Psalms 49:8. The idea is, that the price of life is so great that no wealth can rescue it so that a man shall not die.
And not see corruption - Should not return to dust, or moulder away in the grave. See the notes at Psalms 16:10.
