1 H5329 To the chief H5329 Musician, H4210 A Psalm H1121 for the sons H7141 of Korah. H8085 Hear H2063 this, H3605 all H5971 you people; H238 give ear, H3605 all H3427 you inhabitants H2465 of the world:

2 H1571 Both H120 low H376 and high, H6223 rich H34 and poor, H3162 together.

3 H6310 My mouth H1696 shall speak H2454 of wisdom; H1900 and the meditation H3820 of my heart H8394 shall be of understanding.

4 H5186 I will incline H241 my ear H4912 to a parable: H6605 I will open H2420 my dark H2420 saying H3658 on the harp.

5 H4100 Why H3372 should I fear H3117 in the days H7451 of evil, H5771 when the iniquity H6120 of my heels H5437 shall compass me about?

6 H982 They that trust H2428 in their wealth, H1984 and boast H7230 themselves in the multitude H6239 of their riches;

7 H376 None H3808 H6299 of them can by any means redeem H251 his brother, H3808 nor H5414 give H430 to God H3724 a ransom for him:

8 H6306 (For the redemption H5315 of their soul H3365 is precious, H2308 and it ceases H5769 for ever:)

9 H5750 That he should still H2421 live H5331 for ever, H7200 and not see H7845 corruption.

10 H7200 For he sees H2450 that wise H4191 men die, H3684 likewise the fool H1197 and the brutish H6 person perish, H5800 and leave H2428 their wealth H312 to others.

11 H7130 Their inward H1004 thought is, that their houses H5769 shall continue for ever, H4908 and their dwelling H1755 places to all generations; H7121 they call H127 their lands H8034 after their own names.

12 H120 Nevertheless man H3366 being in honor H3885 stays H4911 not: he is like H929 the beasts H1820 that perish.

13 H2088 This H1870 their way H3689 is their folly: H310 yet their posterity H7521 approve H6310 their sayings. H5542 Selah.

14 H6629 Like sheep H8371 they are laid H7585 in the grave; H4194 death H7462 shall feed H3477 on them; and the upright H7287 shall have dominion H1242 over them in the morning; H6736 and their beauty H1086 shall consume H7585 in the grave H2073 from their dwelling.

15 H430 But God H6299 will redeem H5315 my soul H3027 from the power H7585 of the grave: H3947 for he shall receive H5542 me. Selah.

16 H3372 Be not you afraid H3588 when H376 one H6238 is made rich, H3588 when H3519 the glory H1004 of his house H7235 is increased;

17 H3588 For when H4194 he dies H3947 he shall carry H3808 nothing H3605 H3519 away: his glory H3381 shall not descend H310 after him.

18 H3588 Though H2416 while he lived H1288 he blessed H5315 his soul: H3034 and men will praise H3588 you, when H3190 you do well to yourself.

19 H935 He shall go H1755 to the generation H1 of his fathers; H5704 they shall never H7200 see H216 light.

20 H120 Man H3366 that is in honor, H995 and understands H4911 not, is like H929 the beasts H1820 that perish.
