1For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. Hear this, all you peoples; listen, all who live in this 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 speak words of wisdom; the meditation of my heart will give you understanding.

3פִּ֭י יְדַבֵּ֣ר חָכְמ֑וֹת וְהָג֖וּת לִבִּ֣י תְבוּנֽוֹת׃

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

4אַטֶּ֣ה לְמָשָׁ֣ל אָזְנִ֑י אֶפְתַּ֥ח בְּ֝כִנּ֗וֹר חִידָתִֽי׃

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

5לָ֣מָּה אִ֭ירָא בִּ֣ימֵי רָ֑ע עֲוֺ֖ן עֲקֵבַ֣י יְסוּבֵּֽנִי׃

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

6הַבֹּטְחִ֥ים עַל־ חֵילָ֑ם וּבְרֹ֥ב עָ֝שְׁרָ֗ם יִתְהַלָּֽלוּ׃

7No one can redeem the life of another or give to God a ransom for them--

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

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

8וְ֭יֵקַר פִּדְי֥וֹן נַפְשָׁ֗ם וְחָדַ֥ל לְעוֹלָֽם׃

9so that they should live on forever and not see decay.

9וִֽיחִי־ ע֥וֹד לָנֶ֑צַח לֹ֖א יִרְאֶ֣ה הַשָּֽׁחַת׃

10For all can see that the wise die, that the foolish and the senseless also perish, leaving their wealth to others.

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

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

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

12People, despite their wealth, do not endure; they are like the beasts that perish.

12וְאָדָ֣ם בִּ֭יקָר בַּל־ יָלִ֑ין נִמְשַׁ֖ל כַּבְּהֵמ֣וֹת נִדְמֽוּ׃

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

13זֶ֣ה דַ֭רְכָּם כֵּ֣סֶל לָ֑מוֹ וְאַחֲרֵיהֶ֓ם ׀ בְּפִיהֶ֖ם יִרְצ֣וּ סֶֽלָה׃

14They are like sheep and are destined to die; death will be their shepherd (but the upright will prevail over them in the morning). Their forms will decay in the grave, far from their princely mansions.

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

15But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead; he will surely take me to himself.

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

16Do not be overawed when others grow rich, when the splendor of their houses increases;

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

17for they will take nothing with them when they die, their splendor will not descend with them.

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

18Though while they live they count themselves blessed-- and people praise you when you prosper--

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

19they will join those who have gone before them, who will never again see the light of life.

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

20People who have wealth but lack understanding are like the beasts that perish.

20אָדָ֣ם בִּ֭יקָר וְלֹ֣א יָבִ֑ין נִמְשַׁ֖ל כַּבְּהֵמ֣וֹת נִדְמֽוּ׃
