Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 49:7

7. None of them can by any means redeem his brother , nor give to God a ransom for him.

To wit, from Death, as appears from v. 9, 10. &c. neither from the first Death, nor from the second, which he points at, v. 14. 19.

Whom he would do his utmost to preserve in Life: and Consequently not himself. But he seems to mention his Brother rather than himself, because when his Brother is sick, he being in Health hath the full Command, and free use of all his Wealth, and Strength, and Wi[illegible: 1+ letters], and all other means of redeeming his Brother; which he hath not, when he himself is dangerously or desperately sick.

The onely Lord of Life, and the Judge who hath passed upon him the Sentence of Death.
