For the choir director: A psalm of the descendants of Korah.

Listen to this, all you people!
Pay attention, everyone in the world!

1

Hear this, all peoples;
Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,

2

High and low,
rich and poor — listen!

2

Both low and high,
Rich and poor together.

3

For my words are wise,
and my thoughts are filled with insight.

3

My mouth will speak wisdom,
And the meditation of my heart will be understanding.

4

I listen carefully to many proverbs
and solve riddles with inspiration from a harp.

4

I will incline my ear to a proverb;
I will express my riddle on the harp.

5

Why should I fear when trouble comes,
when enemies surround me?

5

Why should I fear in days of adversity,
When the iniquity of my foes surrounds me,

6

They trust in their wealth
and boast of great riches.

6

Even those who trust in their wealth
And boast in the abundance of their riches?

7

Yet they cannot redeem themselves from deatha
by paying a ransom to God.

7

No man can by any means redeem his brother
Or give to God a ransom for him —

8

Redemption does not come so easily,
for no one can ever pay enough

8

For the redemption of his soul is costly,
And he should cease trying forever —

9

to live forever
and never see the grave.

9

That he should live on eternally,
That he should not undergo decay.

10

Those who are wise must finally die,
just like the foolish and senseless,
leaving all their wealth behind.

10

For he sees that even wise men die;
The stupid and the senseless alike perish
And leave their wealth to others.

11

The graveb is their eternal home,
where they will stay forever.
They may name their estates after themselves,

11

Their inner thought is that their houses are forever
And their dwelling places to all generations;
They have called their lands after their own names.

12

but their fame will not last.
They will die, just like animals.

12

But man in his pomp will not endure;
He is like the beasts that perish.

13

This is the fate of fools,
though they are remembered as being wise.c
Interlude

13

This is the way of those who are foolish,
And of those after them who approve their words.

Selah.

As sheep they are appointed for Sheol;
Death shall be their shepherd;
And the upright shall rule over them in the morning,
And their form shall be for Sheol to consume
So that they have no habitation.

But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol,
For He will receive me.

Selah.

Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich,
When the glory of his house is increased;

For when he dies he will carry nothing away;
His glory will not descend after him.

Though while he lives he congratulates himself —
And though men praise you when you do well for yourself —

He shall go to the generation of his fathers;
They will never see the light.

Man in his pomp, yet without understanding,
Is like the beasts that perish.

14

Like sheep, they are led to the grave,d
where death will be their shepherd.
In the morning the godly will rule over them.
Their bodies will rot in the grave,
far from their grand estates.

14

As sheep they are appointed for Sheol;
Death shall be their shepherd;
And the upright shall rule over them in the morning,
And their form shall be for Sheol to consume
So that they have no habitation.

15

But as for me, God will redeem my life.
He will snatch me from the power of the grave.
Interlude

15

But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol,
For He will receive me.

Selah.

Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich,
When the glory of his house is increased;

For when he dies he will carry nothing away;
His glory will not descend after him.

Though while he lives he congratulates himself —
And though men praise you when you do well for yourself —

He shall go to the generation of his fathers;
They will never see the light.

Man in his pomp, yet without understanding,
Is like the beasts that perish.

16

So don’t be dismayed when the wicked grow rich
and their homes become ever more splendid.

16

Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich,
When the glory of his house is increased;

17

For when they die, they take nothing with them.
Their wealth will not follow them into the grave.

17

For when he dies he will carry nothing away;
His glory will not descend after him.

18

In this life they consider themselves fortunate
and are applauded for their success.

18

Though while he lives he congratulates himself —
And though men praise you when you do well for yourself —

19

But they will die like all before them
and never again see the light of day.

19

He shall go to the generation of his fathers;
They will never see the light.

20

People who boast of their wealth don’t understand;
they will die, just like animals.

20

Man in his pomp, yet without understanding,
Is like the beasts that perish.
