1For the choirmaster. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Hear this, all you peoples; listen, all inhabitants of the world,

1לַמְנַצֵּ֬חַ ׀ לִבְנֵי־ קֹ֬רַח מִזְמֽוֹר׃ שִׁמְעוּ־ זֹ֭את כָּל־ הָֽעַמִּ֑ים הַ֝אֲזִ֗ינוּ כָּל־ יֹ֥שְׁבֵי חָֽלֶד׃

2both low and high, rich and poor alike.

2גַּם־ בְּנֵ֣י אָ֭דָם גַּם־ בְּנֵי־ אִ֑ישׁ יַ֝֗חַד עָשִׁ֥יר וְאֶבְיֽוֹן׃

3My mouth will impart wisdom, and the meditation of my heart will bring understanding.

3פִּ֭י יְדַבֵּ֣ר חָכְמ֑וֹת וְהָג֖וּת לִבִּ֣י תְבוּנֽוֹת׃

4I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will express my riddle with the harp:

4אַטֶּ֣ה לְמָשָׁ֣ל אָזְנִ֑י אֶפְתַּ֥ח בְּ֝כִנּ֗וֹר חִידָתִֽי׃

5Why should I fear in times of trouble, when wicked usurpers surround me?

5לָ֣מָּה אִ֭ירָא בִּ֣ימֵי רָ֑ע עֲוֺ֖ן עֲקֵבַ֣י יְסוּבֵּֽנִי׃

6They trust in their wealth and boast in their great riches.

6הַבֹּטְחִ֥ים עַל־ חֵילָ֑ם וּבְרֹ֥ב עָ֝שְׁרָ֗ם יִתְהַלָּֽלוּ׃

7No man can possibly redeem his brother or pay his ransom to God.

7אָ֗ח לֹא־ פָדֹ֣ה יִפְדֶּ֣ה אִ֑ישׁ לֹא־ יִתֵּ֖ן לֵאלֹהִ֣ים כָּפְרֽוֹ׃

8For the redemption of his soul is costly, and never can payment suffice,

8וְ֭יֵקַר פִּדְי֥וֹן נַפְשָׁ֗ם וְחָדַ֥ל לְעוֹלָֽם׃

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

9וִֽיחִי־ ע֥וֹד לָנֶ֑צַח לֹ֖א יִרְאֶ֣ה הַשָּֽׁחַת׃

10For it is clear that wise men die, and the foolish and the senseless both perish and leave their wealth to others.

10כִּ֤י יִרְאֶ֨ה ׀ חֲכָ֘מִ֤ים יָמ֗וּתוּ יַ֤חַד כְּסִ֣יל וָבַ֣עַר יֹאבֵ֑דוּ וְעָזְב֖וּ לַאֲחֵרִ֣ים חֵילָֽם׃

11Their graves are their eternal homes—their dwellings for endless generations—even though their lands were their namesakes.

11קִרְבָּ֤ם בָּתֵּ֨ימוֹ ׀ לְֽעוֹלָ֗ם מִ֭שְׁכְּנֹתָם לְדֹ֣ר וָדֹ֑ר קָֽרְא֥וּ בִ֝שְׁמוֹתָ֗ם עֲלֵ֣י אֲדָמֽוֹת׃

12But a man, despite his wealth, cannot endure; he is like the beasts that perish.

12וְאָדָ֣ם בִּ֭יקָר בַּל־ יָלִ֑ין נִמְשַׁ֖ל כַּבְּהֵמ֣וֹת נִדְמֽוּ׃

13This is the fate of the self-confident and their followers who endorse their sayings. Selah

13זֶ֣ה דַ֭רְכָּם כֵּ֣סֶל לָ֑מוֹ וְאַחֲרֵיהֶ֓ם ׀ בְּפִיהֶ֖ם יִרְצ֣וּ סֶֽלָה׃

14Like sheep they are destined for Sheol. Death will be their shepherd. The upright will rule them in the morning, and their form will decay in Sheol, far from their lofty abode.

14כַּצֹּ֤אן ׀ לִֽשְׁא֣וֹל שַׁתּוּ֮ מָ֤וֶת יִ֫רְעֵ֥ם וַיִּרְדּ֘וּ בָ֤ם יְשָׁרִ֨ים ׀ לַבֹּ֗קֶר וצירם [וְ֭צוּרָם] (לְבַלּ֥וֹת) שְׁא֗וֹל מִזְּבֻ֥ל לֽוֹ׃

15But God will redeem my life from Sheol, for He will surely take me to Himself. Selah

15אַךְ־ אֱלֹהִ֗ים יִפְדֶּ֣ה נַ֭פְשִׁי מִֽיַּד־ שְׁא֑וֹל כִּ֖י יִקָּחֵ֣נִי סֶֽלָה׃

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

16אַל־ תִּ֭ירָא כִּֽי־ יַעֲשִׁ֣ר אִ֑ישׁ כִּֽי־ יִ֝רְבֶּה כְּב֣וֹד בֵּיתֽוֹ׃

17For when he dies, he will carry nothing away; his abundance will not follow him down.

17כִּ֤י לֹ֣א בְ֭מוֹתוֹ יִקַּ֣ח הַכֹּ֑ל לֹא־ יֵרֵ֖ד אַחֲרָ֣יו כְּבוֹדֽוֹ׃

18Though in his lifetime he blesses his soul—and men praise you when you prosper—

18כִּֽי־ נַ֭פְשׁוֹ בְּחַיָּ֣יו יְבָרֵ֑ךְ וְ֝יוֹדֻ֗ךָ כִּי־ תֵיטִ֥יב לָֽךְ׃

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

19תָּ֭בוֹא עַד־ דּ֣וֹר אֲבוֹתָ֑יו עַד־ נֵ֝֗צַח לֹ֣א יִרְאוּ־ אֽוֹר׃

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

20אָדָ֣ם בִּ֭יקָר וְלֹ֣א יָבִ֑ין נִמְשַׁ֖ל כַּבְּהֵמ֣וֹת נִדְמֽוּ׃
