49{For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.} Hear this, all peoples; Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,H5329H4210H1121H7141H8085H5971H238H3427H24652Both low and high, Rich and poor together.H1121H120H1121H376H6223H34H31623My mouth will speak wisdom; And the meditation of my heart [will be] understanding.H6310H1696H2454H1900H3820H83944I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will express my riddle on the harp.H5186H241H4912H6605H2420H36585Why should I fear in days of adversity, When the iniquity of my foes surrounds me,H3372H3117H7451H5771H6120H54376Even those who trust in their wealth, And boast in the abundance of their riches?H982H2428H1984H7230H62397No man can by any means redeem [his] brother, Or give to God a ransom for him—H376H6299H6299H251H5414H430H37248For the redemption of his soul is costly, And he should cease [trying] forever—H6306H5315H3365H2308H57699That he should live on eternally; That he should not undergo decay.H2421H5331H7200H784510For he sees [that even] wise men die; The stupid and the senseless alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.H7200H2450H4191H3162H3684H1198H6H5800H2428H31211Their inner thought is, [that] their houses are forever, [And] their dwelling places to all generations; They have called their lands after their own names.H7130H1004H5769H4908H1755H1755H7121H127H803412But man in [his] pomp will not endure; He is like the beasts that perish.H120H3366H3885H4911H929H182013This is the way of those who are foolish, And of those after them who approve their words. Selah.H1870H3689H310H7521H6310H554214As 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.H6629H8371H7585H4194H7462H3477H7287H1242H6697H6736H1086H7585H207315But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol; For He will receive me. Selah.H430H6299H5315H3027H7585H3947H554216Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich, When the glory of his house is increased;H3372H376H6238H3519H1004H723517For when he dies he will carry nothing away; His glory will not descend after him.H4194H3947H3519H3381H31018Though while he lives he congratulates himself— And though [men] praise you when you do well for yourself—H2416H1288H5315H3034H319019He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see the light.H935H1755H1H3808H5331H7200H21620Man in [his] pomp, yet without understanding, Is like the beasts that perish.H120H3366H995H4911H929H1820
