For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Hear this, all ye peoples; Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world, - Both low and high, Rich and poor together.
- My mouth shall speak wisdom; And the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
- I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
- Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, When iniquity at my heels compasseth me about?
- They that trust in their wealth, And boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
- None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him;
- (For the redemption of their life is costly, And it faileth for ever;)
- That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption.
- For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.
- 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.
- But man being in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish.
- This their way is their folly: Yet after them men approve their sayings. [[Selah
- They are appointed as a flock for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd; And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, That there be no habitation for it.
- But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol; For he will receive me. [[Selah
- Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased.
- For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; His glory shall not descend after him.
- Though while he lived he blessed his soul (And men praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself,)
- He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see the light.
- Man that is in honor, and understandeth not, Is like the beasts that perish.
