3 My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.

4 I will incline mine ear to a parable; I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my supplanters compasseth me about,

7 No man can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him —
A brother not certainly he will ransom anyone not he will give to God ransom his.
8 For too costly is the redemption of their soul, and must be let alone for ever —
So it may be costly [the] ransom of life their and he will cease for ever.
9 That he should still live alway, that he should not see the pit.
So he may live still to perpetuity not he will see the pit.

11 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling-places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.

12 But man abideth not in honour; he is like the beasts that perish.

13 This is the way of them that are foolish, and of those who after them approve their sayings. (Selah)
This [is] way their stupidity [belongs] to them and after them - in mouth their they take delight (Selah)
14 Like sheep they are appointed for the nether-world; death shall be their shepherd; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their form shall be for the nether-world to wear away, that there be no habitation for it. (Sheol )
Like sheep - for Sheol they have been appointed death it will shepherd them and they ruled over them upright [people] - to the morning (and form their *Q(K)*) [is] for [the] consuming of Sheol from lofty abode of him. (Sheol )

Surely God he will redeem life my from [the] hand of Sheol for he will take me (Selah) (Sheol )
16 Be not thou afraid when one waxeth rich, when the wealth of his house is increased;
May not you fear if he will become rich anyone if it will increase [the] honor of house his.

18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: 'Men will praise thee, when thou shalt do well to thyself';
For self his in life his he blessed and people praise you if you will do well to yourself.
19 It shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see the light.

20 Man that is in honour understandeth not; he is like the beasts that perish.
Humankind with honor and not he understands he is like like the animals [which] they are destroyed.
