1: To the Chief Musician,H5329 of the sonsH1121 of Korah.H7141 A PsalmH4210 HearH8085 this,H2063 allH3605 peoples-H5971 Give ear,H0238 allH3605 inhabitantsH3427 of the world,H2465

2: bothH1571 lowH1121 lowH0120 andH1571 sonH1121 high,H0376 together.H3162 RichH6223 and poor,H0034

3: My mouthH6310 shall speakH1696 wisdom-H2454 and the meditationH1900 of my heart [shall give]H3820 understanding.H8394

4: I will inclineH5186 to a proverb-H4912 my earH0241 I will discloseH6605 on the harpH3658 my dark saying.H2420

5: WhyH4100 should I fearH3372 in the daysH3117 of evil,H7451 [when] the iniquity atH5771 my heelsH6120 surrounds me?H5437

6: Those who trustH0982 inH5921 their wealth,H2428 and in the multitudeH7230 of their riches-H6239 boast.H1984

7: [his] brother,H0251 none [of them]H3808 by any meansH6299 can redeemH6299 -H0376 norH3808 giveH5414 to GodH0430 a ransom for him.H3724

8: For [is] costly,H3365 the redemptionH6306 of their soulsH5315 and it shall ceaseH2308 forever.H5769

9: That he should to liveH2421 continueH5750 eternally,H5331 [And] notH3808 seeH7200 the Pit.H7845

10: ForH3588 he seesH7200 wise menH2450 die,H4191 LikewiseH3162 the foolH3684 and the stupid personH1198 perish,H0006 and leaveH5800 to othersH0312 their wealth.H2428

11: Their inner thought [is that]H7130 their houses [will last]H1004 forever,H5769 their dwelling placesH4908 toH1755 and all generations-H1755 they callH7121 after their own namesH8034 onH5921 [their] lands.H0127

12: And nevertheless manH0120 [though] in honorH3366 not-H1077 does remainH3885 He isH4911 like the beastsH0929 [that] perish.H1820

13: This [is]H2088 the wayH1870 of those who are foolish,H3689 and of their posterityH0310 their sayingsH6310 who approveH7521 Selah.H5542

14: Like sheepH6629 in the grave-H7585 they are laidH8371 DeathH4194 shall feed on themH7462 and shall have dominionH7287 the uprightH3477 in the morning-H1242 and their beautyH6736 shall be consumedH1086 in the graveH7585 far from dwellingH2073

15: ButH0389 GodH0430 will redeemH6299 my soulH5315 from the powerH3027 of the grave,H7585 forH3588 He shall receive meH3947 Selah.H5542

16: NotH0408 do be afraidH3372 whenH3588 becomes rich,H6238 oneH0376 whenH3588 is increased-H7235 the gloryH3519 of his house.H1004

17: ForH3588 nothingH3808 when he diesH4194 he shall carry awayH3947 nothingH3605 notH3808 shall descendH3381 after himH0310 His glory.H3519

18: ThoughH3588 himself-H5315 while he livesH2416 he blessesH1288 for [men] will praise youH3034 whenH3588 you do wellH3190

19: He shall goH0935 toH5704 the generationH1755 of his fathers-H0001 they shall neverH5704 alwaysH5331 neverH3808 they shall seeH7200 light.H0216

20: A man [who is]H0120 in honor,H3366 and yet not,H3808 does understandH0995 isH4911 like the beastsH0929 [that] perish.H1820
