• 1. For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. Hear this, all you peoples; listen, all who live in this world,

• 2. both low and high, rich and poor alike:

• 3. My mouth will speak words of wisdom; the utterance from my heart will give understanding.

• 4. I will turn my ear to a proverb; with the harp I will expound my riddle:

• 5. Why should I fear when evil days come, when wicked deceivers surround me--

• 6. those who trust in their wealth and boast of their great riches?

• 7. No man can redeem the life of another or give to God a ransom for him--

• 8. the ransom for a life is costly, no payment is ever enough--

• 9. that he should live on forever and not see decay.

• 10. For all can see that wise men die; the foolish and the senseless alike perish and leave their wealth to others.

• 11. Their tombs will remain their houses forever, their dwellings for endless generations, though they had named lands after themselves.

• 12. But man, despite his riches, does not endure; he is like the beasts that perish.

• 13. This is the fate of those who trust in themselves, and of their followers, who approve their sayings. Selah

• 14. Like sheep they are destined for the grave, and death will feed on them. The upright will rule over them in the morning; their forms will decay in the grave, far from their princely mansions.

• 15. But God will redeem my life from the grave; he will surely take me to himself. Selah

• 16. Do not be overawed when a man grows rich, when the splendor of his house increases;

• 17. for he will take nothing with him when he dies, his splendor will not descend with him.

• 18. Though while he lived he counted himself blessed--and men praise you when you prosper--

• 19. he will join the generation of his fathers, who will never see the light of life.

• 20. A man who has riches without understanding is like the beasts that perish.
