Berean Standard Bible
Hear this, all ye
peoples; Give
ear
, all ye
inhabitants of the world,
For
the
choirmaster.
A
Psalm
of
the
sons
of
Korah.
Hear this, all you
peoples; listen
, all inhabitants of the world,
Both low and high, Rich and poor together
.
both low and high, rich and poor alike
.
My mouth shall
speak
wisdom ;
And the meditation of my heart shall
be
of
understanding.
My mouth will
impart
wisdom ,
and the meditation of my heart will
bring
understanding.
I will incline mine
ear to a parable:
I will open
my dark
saying
upon
the harp .
I will incline my
ear to a proverb;
I will express
my riddle
with
the harp :
Wherefore
should I fear in the
days
of evil
, When iniquity
at
my
heels
compasseth
me about
?
Why
should I fear in times
of trouble
, when wicked
usurpers
surround
me?
They that
trust in their wealth ,
And boast themselves
in the
multitude
of
their riches ;
They trust in their wealth and boast in their great
riches .
None
`of
them'
can by
any
means
redeem his brother ,
Nor
give
to God a
ransom
for
him;
No
man
can possibly
redeem his brother or
pay
his
ransom
to God .
(
For the redemption of their
life
is costly, And it
faileth
for
ever;)
For the redemption of his
soul
is costly, and never
can
payment
suffice,
That he should still
live alway,
That
he
should
not see corruption
.
that he should live on
forever
and
not see decay
.
For he
shall
see
it .
Wise men die ;
The fool
and the brutish
alike
perish ,
And leave their wealth to others.
For it is
clear
that
wise men die ,
and
the foolish
and the senseless
both
perish and leave their wealth to others.
Their inward
thought
is,
`that'
their houses
`shall
continue'
for
ever,
`And'
their dwelling-places
to
all
generations ;
They
call
their lands after
their own
names
.
Their graves
are
their eternal
homes—
their dwellings
for
endless
generations —
even
though
their lands were
their namesakes
.
But man `being'
in
honor
abideth
not:
He is like the beasts that perish.
But a
man ,
despite
his
wealth,
cannot
endure;
he is like the beasts that perish.
This their
way
is their folly:
Yet
after
them
men
approve
their sayings. Selah
This is the
fate
of
the
self-confident
and
their followers
who
endorse
their sayings. Selah
They are appointed
as
a
flock
for Sheol ;
Death shall
be their shepherd ;
And
the upright shall
have
dominion
over
them in the morning ;
And their beauty
shall
be
for
Sheol to
consume
, That
there
be
no
habitation
for
it
.
Like
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
.
But God will redeem my soul
from the
power
of
Sheol ;
For he will receive
me. Selah
But God will redeem my life
from Sheol ,
for He will surely
take
me to
Himself
. Selah
Be
not thou
afraid
when one
is
made
rich, When the glory
of his house is
increased
.
Do
not be
amazed
when a
man
grows
rich, when the splendor
of his house increases
.
For when he dieth
he shall
carry nothing away; His glory
shall
not descend
after
him.
For when he dies,
he will
carry nothing away; his abundance
will
not follow
him down
.
Though while
he
lived
he blessed
his soul (
And men praise thee,
when thou
doest
well
to
thyself,)
Though in
his
lifetime
he blesses
his soul —
and men praise you
when you
prosper—
He shall
go
to
the generation of his fathers ;
They
shall
never see the light.
he will
join
the generation of his fathers ,
who
will
never see the light of
day
.
Man that
is
in
honor,
and
understandeth
not,
Is like the beasts that perish. Psalm
50
A
Psalm
of
Asaph.
A
man who
has
riches
without
understanding
is like the beasts that perish.
