[1]To the chief MusicianH5329[H8764], A PsalmH4210 for the sonsH1121 of KorahH7141. HearH8085[H8798] this, all ye peopleH5971; give earH238[H8685], all ye inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of the worldH2465: |
| [2]שמעו־זאת כל־העמים האזינו כל־ישבי חלד |
[2]Both lowH1121[H120] and highH1121[H376], richH6223 and poorH34, togetherH3162. |
| [3]גם־בני אדם גם־בני־איש יחד עשיר ואביון |
[3]My mouthH6310 shall speakH1696[H8762] of wisdomH2454; and the meditationH1900 of my heartH3820 shall be of understandingH8394. |
| [4]פי ידבר חכמות והגות לבי תבונות |
[4]I will inclineH5186[H8686] mine earH241 to a parableH4912: I will openH6605[H8799] my dark sayingH2420 upon the harpH3658. |
| [5]אטה למשל אזני אפתח בכנור חידתי |
[5]Wherefore should I fearH3372[H8799] in the daysH3117 of evilH7451, when the iniquityH5771 of my heelsH6120 shall compassH5437 me aboutH8799? |
| [6]למה אירא בימי רע עון עקבי יסובני |
[6]They that trustH982[H8802] in their wealthH2428, and boastH1984[H8691] themselves in the multitudeH7230 of their richesH6239; |
| [7]הבטחים על־חילם וברב עשרם יתהללו |
[7]None of them canH376 by any meansH6299[H8800] redeemH6299[H8799] his brotherH251, nor giveH5414[H8799] to GodH430 a ransom for himH3724: |
| [8]אח־לא פדה יפדה איש לא־יתן לאלהים כפרו |
[8](For the redemptionH6306 of their soulH5315 is preciousH3365[H8799], and it ceasethH2308[H8804] for everH5769:) |
| [9]ויקר פדיון נפשם וחדל לעולם |
[9]That he should still liveH2421[H8799] for everH5331, and not seeH7200[H8799] corruptionH7845. |

[10]For he seethH7200[H8799] that wise menH2450 dieH4191[H8799], likewiseH3162 the foolH3684 and the brutish personH1198 perishH6[H8799], and leaveH5800[H8804] their wealthH2428 to othersH312. |
| [11]כי יראה חכמים ימותו יחד כסיל ובער יאבדו ועזבו לאחרים חילם |
[11]Their inwardH7130 thought is, that their housesH1004 shall continue for everH5769, and their dwellingH4908 places to allH1755 generationsH1755; they callH7121[H8804] their landsH127 after their own namesH8034. |
| [12]קרבם בתימו לעולם משכנתם לדור ודר קראו בשמותם עלי אדמות |
[12]Nevertheless manH120 being in honourH3366 abidethH3885[H8799] not: he is likeH4911[H8738] the beastsH929 that perishH1820.[H8738] |
| [13]ואדם ביקר בל־ילין נמשל כבהמות נדמו |
[13]This their wayH1870 is their follyH3689: yet their posterityH310 approveH7521[H8799] their sayingsH6310. SelahH5542. |
| [14]זה דרכם כסל למו ואחריהם בפיהם ירצו סלה |
[14]Like sheepH6629 they are laidH8371[H8804] in the graveH7585; deathH4194 shall feedH7462[H8799] on them; and the uprightH3477 shall have dominionH7287[H8799] over them in the morningH1242; and their beautyH6697[H8675][H6736] shall consumeH1086[H8763] in the graveH7585 from their dwellingH2073. |
| [15]כצאן לשאול שתו מות ירעם וירדו בם ישרים לבקר־וצירם [Q: וצורם] לבלות שאול מזבל לו |
[15]But GodH430 will redeemH6299[H8799] my soulH5315 from the powerH3027 of the graveH7585: for he shall receiveH3947[H8799] me. SelahH5542. |
| [16]אך־אלהים־יפדה נפשי מיד־שאול כי יקחני סלה |
[16]Be not thou afraidH3372[H8799] when oneH376 is made richH6238[H8686], when the gloryH3519 of his houseH1004 H7235is increasedH8799 |
| [17]אל־תירא כי־יעשר איש כי־ירבה כבוד ביתו |
[17]For when he diethH4194 he shall carry nothing awayH3947[H8799]: his gloryH3519 shall not descendH3381[H8799] after himH310. |
| [18]כי לא במותו יקח הכל לא־ירד אחריו כבודו |
[18]Though while he livedH2416 he blessedH1288[H8762] his soulH5315: and men will praiseH3034[H8686] thee, when thou doest wellH3190 to thyselfH8686. |
| [19]כי־נפשו בחייו יברך ויודך כי־תיטיב לך |
[19]He shall goH935[H8799] to the generationH1755 of his fathersH1; they shall neverH3808[H5331] seeH7200[H8799] lightH216. |
| [20]תבוא עד־דור אבותיו עד־נצח לא יראו־אור |
[20]ManH120 that is in honourH3366, and understandethH995[H8799] not, is likeH4911[H8738] the beastsH929 that perishH1820.[H8738] |
| [21]אדם ביקר ולא יבין נמשל כבהמות נדמו |
