1 To His Eminence; A Psalm for the sons of Qorach. Hear this, all you people! Hearken, all you transcients settled in the world!
2 Both sons of humanity and sons of man! Rich and needy, together!
3 My mouth words of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart of discernment:
4 I incline my ear to a proverb; I open my riddle on the harp.
5 Why awe I in the days of evil, when the perversity of my heels surround me?
6 They who confide in their valuables - in the abundance of their riches halal themselves.
7 In redeeming, man neither redeems his brother, nor gives Elohim a koper/an atonement for him;
8 and esteemed is the redemption of their soul: and ceases eternally;
9 and still he lives in perpetuity and sees not the pit of ruin.
10 For he sees wise men die; the fool and the stupid destruct together and leave their valuables to others.
11 Inwardly they think their houses are eternal and their tabernacles generation to generation; they call their soil after their own names.
12 Humanity stays not in esteem; he is as the animals who decease.
13 This their way is their folly; yet their posterity is pleased with their mouth. Selah.
14 As a flock they set themselves in sheol; death tends them: and the straight subjugate them in the morning; and their form wears out: sheol is their residence.
15 Surely Elohim redeems my soul from the hand of sheol; for he takes me. Selah.
16 Awe not when man enriches - when the honor of his house abounds:
17 for when he dies he takes naught; his honor descends not after him.
18 For while he lives he blesses his soul; and they spread hands to you when you well-please yourself.
19 He goes to the generation of his fathers; never to see light in perpetuity.
20 Humanity in esteem who discerns not, is as the beasts that perish.
