\d For the chief musician. A psalm of the sons of Korah.
|
|||
|
|
\b
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 1 Hear this, all you peoples;
|
|||
|
|
\q give ear, all you inhabitants of the world,
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 2 Both low and high,
|
|||
|
|
\q rich and poor together.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 3 My mouth will speak wisdom
|
|||
|
|
\q and the meditation of my heart will be of understanding.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 4 I will incline my ear to a parable;
|
|||
|
|
\q I will begin my parable with the harp.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 5 Why should I fear the days of evil,
|
|||
|
|
\q when iniquity surrounds me at my heels?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 6 Those who trust in their wealth
|
|||
|
|
\q and boast about the amount of their riches—
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 7 It is certain that no one can redeem his brother
|
|||
|
|
\q or give God a ransom for him,
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 8 For the redemption of one’s life is costly,
|
|||
|
|
\q and no one can pay what we owe.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 9 No one can live forever
|
|||
|
|
\q so that his body should not decay.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 10 For he will see decay. Wise men die;
|
|||
|
|
\q the fool and the brute alike perish
|
|||
|
|
\q and leave their wealth to others.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 11 Their inner thought is that their families will
|
|||
|
|
continue forever,
|
|||
|
|
\q and the places where they live, to all generations;
|
|||
|
|
\q they call their lands after their own names.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 12 But man, having wealth, does not remain alive;
|
|||
|
|
\q he is like the beasts that perish.
|
|||
|
|
\b
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 13 This, their way, is their folly;
|
|||
|
|
\q yet after them, men approve of their sayings.

|

\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 14 They are appointed like a flock to go to sheol;
|
|||
|
|
\q death will be their shepherd;
|
|||
|
|
\q the upright will have power over them in the morning;
|
|||
|
|
\q sheol will consume their bodies
|
|||
|
|
\q and there be no place for them to live.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 15 But God will redeem my life from the power of sheol;
|
|||
|
|
\q he will receive me.

\v 16 Do not be afraid when one becomes rich,
|
|||
|
|
\q when the power of his house increases;
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 17 for when he dies, he will take nothing away;

|
\q his power will not descend with him.

\v 18 He blessed his soul while he lived—
|
|||
|
|
\q and men praise you when you live for yourself—
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 19 he will go to the generation of his fathers
|

|
\q and they will never see the light again.

\q is like the beasts, which perish.
