1 “For the leader of the music. A psalm of the sons of Korah.” Hear this, all ye nations; Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world;
To the choirmaster - of [the] sons of Korah a psalm. Hear this O all the peoples give ear O all [the] inhabitants of [the] world.
2 Both high and low, rich and poor alike!
Both [the] children of humankind as well as [the] children of man alike [the] rich and [the] needy.
3 My mouth shall speak wisdom, And the meditation of my mind shall be understanding.
Mouth my it will speak wisdom and [the] meditation of heart my [will be] understanding.
4 I will incline mine ear to a poem; I will utter my song upon the harp.
I will incline to a proverb ear my I will open with a harp riddle my.
5 Why should I fear in the days of adversity, When the iniquity of my adversaries encompasseth me;
Why? will I fear in days of trouble [the] iniquity of heels my it surrounds me.
6 They who trust in their riches, And glory in the greatness of their wealth?
Those relying on wealth their and in [the] greatness of rich[es] their they boast.
7 No one can redeem his brother from death, Nor give a ransom for him to God,
A brother not certainly he will ransom anyone not he will give to God ransom his.
8 That he should live to eternity, And not see the pit.
So it may be costly [the] ransom of life their and he will cease for ever.
9 Too costly is the redemption of his life, And he giveth it up for ever.
So he may live still to perpetuity not he will see the pit.
10 For he seeth that wise men die, As well as the foolish and the ignorant; They perish alike, And leave their wealth to others.
For anyone will see - wise [people] they die alike a fool and a stupid [person] they perish and they leave to other [people] wealth their.
11 They imagine that their houses will endure for ever, And their dwelling-places from generation to generation: Men celebrate their names on the earth.
Inner being their houses their - for ever dwelling places their to a generation and a generation they called with names their on lands.
12 Yet man, who is in honor, abideth not; He is like the beasts that perish.
And humankind in honor not he remains he is like like the animals [which] they are destroyed.
13 Such is the way which is their confidence! And they who come after them approve their maxims. (Pause)
This [is] way their stupidity [belongs] to them and after them - in mouth their they take delight (Selah)
14 Like sheep they are cast into the underworld; Death shall feed upon them; And the upright shall soon trample upon them. Their form shall be consumed in the underworld, And they shall no more have a dwelling-place. (Sheol h7585)
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 h7585)
15 But God will redeem my life from the underworld; Yea, he will take me under his care. (Pause) (Sheol h7585)
Surely God he will redeem life my from [the] hand of Sheol for he will take me (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
16 Be not thou afraid, when one becometh rich; When the glory of his house is increased!
May not you fear if he will become rich anyone if it will increase [the] honor of house his.
17 For, when he dieth, he will carry nothing away; His glory will not descend after him.
For not in death his he will take anything not it will go down after him honor his.
18 Though in his life he thought himself happy, —Though men praised thee, while thou wast in prosperity, —
For self his in life his he blessed and people praise you if you will do well to yourself.
19 Yet shalt thou go to the dwelling-place of thy fathers, Who never more shall see the light!
It will go to [the] generation of ancestors his until perpetuity not they will see light.
20 The man who is in honor, but without understanding, Is like the beasts that perish.
Humankind with honor and not he understands he is like like the animals [which] they are destroyed.
