  • 1 Hear this, all peoples; Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,
  • 2 Both low and high, Rich and poor together.
  • 3 My mouth will speak wisdom, And the meditation of my heart will be understanding.
  • 4 I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will express my riddle on the harp.
  • 5 Why should I fear in days of adversity, When the iniquity of my foes surrounds me,
  • 6 Even those who trust in their wealth And boast in the abundance of their riches?
  • 7 No man can by any means redeem his brother Or give to God a ransom for him--
  • 8 For the redemption of his soul is costly, And he should cease trying forever--
  • 9 That he should live on eternally, That he should not undergo decay.
  • 10 For he sees that even wise men die; The stupid and the senseless alike perish And leave their wealth to others.
  • 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 man in his pomp will not endure; He is like the beasts that perish.
  • 13 This is the way of those who are foolish, And of those after them who approve their words. Selah.
  • 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 God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, For He will receive me. Selah.
  • 16 Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich, When the glory of his house is increased;
  • 17 For when he dies he will carry nothing away; His glory will not descend after him.
  • 18 Though while he lives he congratulates himself-- And though men praise you when you do well for yourself--
  • 19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They will never see the light.
  • 20 Man in his pomp, yet without understanding, Is like the beasts that perish.
