¹ For the Chief Musician; a Psalm of the sons of Korah Hear this, all ye peoples; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:

² Both low and high, rich and poor together

³ My mouth shall speak wisdom; And the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding

⁴ I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp

⁵ Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when iniquity at my heels compasseth me about?

⁶ They that trust in their wealth, And boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;

⁷ None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him:

⁸ (For the redemption of their soul is costly, And must be let alone for ever:)

⁹ That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption

¹⁰ For he seeth that wise men die, the fool and the brutish together perish, And leave their wealth to others

¹¹ 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

¹² But man abideth not in honour: He is like the beasts that perish

¹³ This their way is their folly: Yet after them men approve their sayings. Selah

¹⁴ 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

¹⁵ But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol: For he shall receive me. Selah

¹⁶ Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased:

¹⁷ For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; his glory shall not descend after him

¹⁸ Though while he lived he blessed his soul, And men praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself,

¹⁹ He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see the light

²⁰ Man that is in honour, And understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
