Hear this, all peoples;
Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,
The Transiency of the Wealth
{To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.} Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:

When the iniquity at my heels surrounds me?
When the iniquity at my heels surrounds me?

And boast in the multitude of their riches,
And boast in the multitude of their riches,

Nor give to God a ransom for him —
None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:

And it shall cease forever —
And it shall cease forever —
(For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)

Likewise the fool and the senseless person perish,
And leave their wealth to others.

And leave their wealth to others.
For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person 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.

This is the way of those who are foolish,
And of their posterity who approve their sayings. Selah
And of their posterity who approve their sayings. Selah
This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.
But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
Do not be afraid when one becomes rich,
When the glory of his house is increased;
When the glory of his house is increased;
Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
For when he dies he shall carry nothing away;
His glory shall not descend after him.
His glory shall not descend after him.
For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
Though while he lives he blesses himself
(For men will praise you when you do well for yourself),
(For men will praise you when you do well for yourself),
Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
