Commentary on Psalms 49:2

Theological / Devotional

Low and high. Literally, “sons of ordinary men [Heb. ’adam] and sons of great men [Heb. ’ish]” (see on Ps. 4:2; Ps. 8:4). The psalm teaches the humble not to envy or to fear the rich, and the rich not to trust in their riches or to use them unjustly to lord it over the poor. Thus the rich are warned and the poor consoled.
