YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Hear this, all ye people;
give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world :
To
the
Overseer.
--
By
sons
of
Korah.
A
Psalm.
Hear this, all ye peoples,
Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world .
Both low and high, rich and poor,
together
.
Both low and high, together
rich and needy
.
My mouth shall
speak
of
wisdom;
and the meditation
of my heart shall
be
of understanding.
My mouth speaketh
wise
things,
And the meditations
of my heart `are'
things
of understanding.
I will
incline mine
ear
to a parable:
I will
open my
dark
saying
upon
the
harp .
I incline to a simile
mine
ear,
I open with
a
harp my
riddle:
Wherefore
should
I fear in the
days of evil ,
when
the iniquity of my heels
shall
compass me about?
Why
do
I fear in days of evil ?
The iniquity of my supplanters
doth
compass me .
They
that
trust
in
their wealth, and boast
themselves
in the multitude of their riches ;
Those
trusting
on
their wealth, And in the multitude of their riches ,
Do
shew
themselves
foolish.
None
of
them
can
by
any
means
redeem
his
brother, nor
give to God a
ransom
for
him:
A
brother doth
no
one
at
all
ransom
, He
doth
not
give to God his
atonement.
(For
the redemption of their soul is
precious
, and it ceaseth
for
ever:)
And
precious
`is'
the redemption of their soul, And it hath
ceased
--
to
the
age.
That
he
should
still live
for ever, and
not see
corruption
.
And
still he
liveth
for ever, He
seeth
not the
pit
.
For he seeth that
wise men die, likewise
the fool
and the
brutish person
perish, and leave
their
wealth
to others.
For he seeth wise men die, Together
the foolish
and brutish perish, And have
left
to others their
wealth
.
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 heart
`
is ':
Their houses `are'
to
the
age
, Their tabernacles
to all generations .
They proclaimed
their names over
the
lands
.
Nevertheless
man being
in honour abideth
not :
he is
like the beasts that
perish
.
And
man in honour doth
not remain,
He hath
been
like the beasts ,
they
have
been
cut
off
.
This their way is their
folly :
yet
their posterity approve
their sayings. Selah.
This their way `
is '
folly for
them,
And
their posterity with
their sayings are
pleased
. Selah.
Like
sheep they are
laid
in
the
grave;
death shall
feed
on
them ;
and the upright shall
have
dominion
over them in the morning ;
and their beauty
shall
consume
in
the
grave
from
their
dwelling.
As
sheep for
Sheol
they have
set
themselves,
Death doth
afflict
them ,
And the upright rule
over them in the morning ,
And their form
`is'
for
consumption.
Sheol
`is'
a
dwelling for
him
.
But
God will
redeem
my soul from the power
of the
grave:
for he shall
receive me. Selah.
Only,
God doth
ransom
my soul from the hand
of Sheol,
For He doth
receive me. Selah.
Be
not thou
afraid
when one is
made
rich
, when the glory
of his house is increased;
Fear
not ,
when one maketh
wealth
, When the honour
of his house is abundant,
For when
he
dieth
he shall
carry
nothing away:
his glory
shall
not descend
after him.
For at
his
death
he receiveth
nothing ,
His honour
goeth
not down
after him.
Though
while
he
lived
he
blessed
his soul :
and men
will
praise thee ,
when thou doest
well to
thyself.
For
his soul in
his
life
he
blesseth,
(
And they
praise thee when thou dost
well for
thyself. )
He
shall
go
to the generation of his fathers ;
they shall
never
see light.
It
cometh
to the generation of his fathers ,
For
ever
they see not
the
light.
Man that
is
in honour, and
understandeth
not, is
like the beasts that
perish.
Man in honour, who
understandest
not, Hath
been
like the beasts ,
they
have
been
cut
off!
