Man, by himself will fail and perish. 'man does not endure. This is the fate of those who trust in themselves'. But God is much greater, infinitely so, deserving of all praise and worship. 'within your temple, O God, we meditate on your unfailing love', 'for this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end', He says to his people 'call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.' Indeed we will honor him. Another couple verses show where we were in the most trouble 'no man can redeem the life of another or give to God a ransom for him- the ransom for a life is costly, no payment is ever enough- that he should live on forever and not see decay.' We cannot redeem ourselves or even others, but God has, out of his unfailing love for us, given his own Son, Jesus, as a sacrifice for us. Paying the price for all our sins and redeeming us.
