Psalm 49 reminds the reader of the folly in trusting anyone or anything other than God. Wealth, position, power, praise, even noble character will not provide for one moment's rest after life ends. Only God can redeem a soul from the power of death and give him life beyond the grave.
Asaph, the writer of Psalm 50, sings of God the Judge. God holds the position of power and authority over creation. All will give account to Him, for He owns and controls everything. God has no needs that man can ever fulfill; how could an infinite God depend on finite man for sustenance? Those who live uprightly will be rewarded, while those who live in error will be rewarded (negatively) for their actions.
