To the chief MusicianH5329 on NeginothH5058, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. HearH6030 me when I callH7121, O GodH430 of my righteousnessH6664: thou hast enlargedH7337 me when I was in distressH6862; have mercyH2603 upon me, and hearH8085 my prayerH8605. {chief…: or, overseer} {have…: or, be gracious unto me}
O ye sonsH1121 of menH376, how longH5704 will ye turn my gloryH3519 into shameH3639? how long will ye loveH157 vanityH7385, and seekH1245 after leasingH3577? SelahH5542.
But knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 hath set apartH6395 him that is godlyH2623 for himself: the LORDH3068 will hearH8085 when I callH7121 unto him.
Stand in aweH7264, and sinH2398 not: communeH559 with your own heartH3824 upon your bedH4904, and be stillH1826. SelahH5542.
OfferH2076 the sacrificesH2077 of righteousnessH6664, and put your trustH982 in the LORDH3068.
There be manyH7227 that sayH559, Who will shewH7200 us any goodH2896? LORDH3068, lift thou upH5375 the lightH216 of thy countenanceH6440 upon us.
Thou hast putH5414 gladnessH8057 in my heartH3820, more than in the timeH6256 that their cornH1715 and their wineH8492 increasedH7231.
I will bothH3162 lay me downH7901 in peaceH7965, and sleepH3462: for thou, LORDH3068, onlyH910 makest me dwellH3427 in safetyH983.

Surely every manH376 walkethH1980 in a vain shewH6754: surely they are disquietedH1993 in vainH1892: he heapeth upH6651 riches, and knowethH3045 not who shall gatherH622 them. {a vain…: Heb. an image}
For thou hast madeH7896 him most blessedH1293 for everH5703: thou hast madeH2302 him exceeding gladH8057 with thy countenanceH6440. {made him most…: Heb. set him to be blessings} {made him exceeding…: Heb. make him glad with joy}
Be not thou afraidH3372 when oneH376 is made richH6238, when the gloryH3519 of his houseH1004 is increasedH7235;
For when he diethH4194 he shall carry nothing awayH3947: his gloryH3519 shall not descendH3381 afterH310 him.
Though while he livedH2416 he blessedH1288 his soulH5315: and men will praiseH3034 thee, when thou doest wellH3190 to thyself. {while…: Heb. in his life}
He shall goH935 to the generationH1755 of his fathersH1; they shall neverH3808+H5331 seeH7200 lightH216. {He…: Heb. The soul shall}
ManH120 that is in honourH3366, and understandethH995 not, is likeH4911 the beastsH929 that perishH1820.
Why art thou cast downH7817, O my soulH5315? and why art thou disquietedH1993 in me? hopeH3176 thou in GodH430: for I shall yet praiseH3034 him for the helpH3444 of his countenanceH6440. {cast: Heb. bowed} {praise: or, give thanks} {for the…: or, his presence is salvation}
I soughtH8446 in mine heartH3820 to giveH4900 myselfH1320 unto wineH3196, yet acquaintingH5090 mine heartH3820 with wisdomH2451; and to lay holdH270 on follyH5531, till I might seeH7200 what was that goodH2896 for the sonsH1121 of menH120, which they should doH6213 under the heavenH8064 allH4557 the daysH3117 of their lifeH2416. {to give…: Heb. to draw my flesh with wine} {all…: Heb. the number of the days of their life}
I made me greatH1431 worksH4639; I buildedH1129 me housesH1004; I plantedH5193 me vineyardsH3754:
I madeH6213 me gardensH1593 and orchardsH6508, and I plantedH5193 treesH6086 in them of all kind of fruitsH6529:
I madeH6213 me poolsH1295 of waterH4325, to waterH8248 therewith the woodH3293 that bringeth forthH6779 treesH6086:
I gotH7069 me servantsH5650 and maidensH8198, and had servants bornH1121 in my houseH1004; also I had greatH7235 possessionsH4735 of greatH1241 and small cattleH6629 above all that were in JerusalemH3389 beforeH6440 me: {servants born…: Heb. sons of my house}
I gatheredH3664 me also silverH3701 and goldH2091, and the peculiar treasureH5459 of kingsH4428 and of the provincesH4082: I gatH6213 me men singersH7891 and women singersH7891, and the delightsH8588 of the sonsH1121 of menH120, as musical instrumentsH7705+H7705, and that of all sorts. {musical…: Heb. musical instrument and instruments}
So I was greatH1431, and increasedH3254 more than all that were beforeH6440 me in JerusalemH3389: also my wisdomH2451 remainedH5975 with me.
And whatsoever mine eyesH5869 desiredH7592 I keptH680 not from them, I withheldH4513 not my heartH3820 from any joyH8057; for my heartH3820 rejoicedH8056 in all my labourH5999: and this was my portionH2506 of all my labourH5999.
Then I lookedH6437 on all the worksH4639 that my handsH3027 had wroughtH6213, and on the labourH5999 that I had labouredH5998 to doH6213: and, behold, all was vanityH1892 and vexationH7469 of spiritH7307, and there was no profitH3504 under the sunH8121.
And I turnedH6437 myself to beholdH7200 wisdomH2451, and madnessH1947, and follyH5531: for what can the manH120 do that comethH935 afterH310 the kingH4428? even that which hath been alreadyH3528 doneH6213. {even…: or, in those things which have been already done}
Then I sawH7200 thatH3426 wisdomH2451 excellethH3504 follyH5531, as far as lightH216 excellethH3504 darknessH2822. {that…: Heb. that there is an excellency in wisdom more than in folly, etc}
The wise man'sH2450 eyesH5869 are in his headH7218; but the foolH3684 walkethH1980 in darknessH2822: and I myself perceivedH3045 also that oneH259 eventH4745 happenethH7136 to them all.
ThenH227 saidH559 I in my heartH3820, As it happenethH4745 to the foolH3684, so it happenethH7136 even to meH1571; and why was I then moreH3148 wiseH2449? Then I saidH1696 in my heartH3820, that this also is vanityH1892. {happeneth even…: Heb. happeneth to me, even to me}
For there is no remembranceH2146 of the wiseH2450 more thanH5973 of the foolH3684 for everH5769; seeing that which nowH3528 is in the daysH3117 to comeH935 shall all be forgottenH7911. And how diethH4191 the wiseH2450 man? as the foolH3684.
Therefore I hatedH8130 lifeH2416; because the workH4639 that is wroughtH6213 under the sunH8121 is grievousH7451 unto me: for all is vanityH1892 and vexationH7469 of spiritH7307.
Yea, I hatedH8130 all my labourH5999 which I had takenH6001 under the sunH8121: because I should leaveH3240 it unto the manH120 that shall be afterH310 me. {taken: Heb. laboured}
And who knowethH3045 whether he shall be a wiseH2450 man or a foolH5530? yet shall he have ruleH7980 over all my labourH5999 wherein I have labouredH5998, and wherein I have shewed myself wiseH2449 under the sunH8121. This is also vanityH1892.
Therefore I went aboutH5437 to causeH2976 my heartH3820 to despairH2976 of all the labourH5999 which I tookH5998 under the sunH8121.
For there isH3426 a manH120 whose labourH5999 is in wisdomH2451, and in knowledgeH1847, and in equityH3788; yet to a manH120 that hath not labouredH5998 therein shall he leaveH5414 it for his portionH2506. This also is vanityH1892 and a greatH7227 evilH7451. {leave: Heb. give}
For what hathH1933 manH120 of all his labourH5999, and of the vexationH7475 of his heartH3820, whereinH1931 he hath labouredH6001 under the sunH8121?
For all his daysH3117 are sorrowsH4341, and his travailH6045 griefH3708; yea, his heartH3820 taketh not restH7901 in the nightH3915. This is also vanityH1892.
There is nothing betterH2896 for a manH120, than that he should eatH398 and drinkH8354, and that he should make his soulH5315 enjoyH7200 goodH2896 in his labourH5999. ThisH2090 also I sawH7200, that it was from the handH3027 of GodH430. {should make…: or, delight his senses}
For who can eatH398, or who else can hastenH2363 hereunto, moreH2351 than I?
For God givethH5414 to a manH120 that is goodH2896 in his sightH6440 wisdomH2451, and knowledgeH1847, and joyH8057: but to the sinnerH2398 he givethH5414 travailH6045, to gatherH622 and to heap upH3664, that he may giveH5414 to him that is goodH2896 beforeH6440 GodH430. This also is vanityH1892 and vexationH7469 of spiritH7307. {in his…: Heb. before him}
For they gotH3423 not the landH776 in possessionH3423 by their own swordH2719, neither did their own armH2220 saveH3467 them: but thy right handH3225, and thine armH2220, and the lightH216 of thy countenanceH6440, because thou hadst a favourH7521 unto them.
Wherefore do ye spendH8254 moneyH3701 for that which is not breadH3899? and your labourH3018 for that which satisfiethH7654 notH3808? hearkenH8085 diligentlyH8085 unto me, and eatH398 ye that which is goodH2896, and let your soulH5315 delightH6026 itself in fatnessH1880. {spend: Heb. weigh}
To the chief MusicianH5329 on NeginothH5058, A PsalmH4210 or SongH7892. GodH430 be mercifulH2603 unto us, and blessH1288 us; and cause his faceH6440 to shineH215 upon us; SelahH5542. {upon: Heb. with}
AndG2532 I will sayG2046 to myG3450 soulG5590, SoulG5590, thou hastG2192 muchG4183 goodsG18 laid upG2749 forG1519 manyG4183 yearsG2094; take thine easeG373, eatG5315, drinkG4095, and be merryG2165.
To the chief MusicianH5329 upon ShoshannimeduthH7802, A PsalmH4210 of AsaphH623. Give earH238, O ShepherdH7462 of IsraelH3478, thou that leadestH5090 JosephH3130 like a flockH6629; thou that dwellestH3427 between the cherubimsH3742, shine forthH3313. {of: or, for}
BeforeH6440 EphraimH669 and BenjaminH1144 and ManassehH4519 stir upH5782 thy strengthH1369, and comeH3212 and saveH3444 us. {come…: Heb. come for salvation to us}
Turn us againH7725, O GodH430, and cause thy faceH6440 to shineH215; and we shall be savedH3467.
There wasG2258 a certainG5100 richG4145 manG444, whichG2532 was clothedG1737 in purpleG4209 andG2532 fine linenG1040, and faredG2165 sumptuouslyG2988 everyG2596 dayG2250:
Turn us againH7725, O GodH430 of hostsH6635, and cause thy faceH6440 to shineH215; and we shall be savedH3467.
Go toG33 nowG3568, ye that sayG3004, To dayG4594 orG2532 to morrowG839 we will goG4198 intoG1519 suchG3592 a cityG4172, andG2532 continueG4160 thereG1563 aG1520 yearG1763, andG2532 buy and sellG1710, andG2532 get gainG2770:
Turn us againH7725, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635, cause thy faceH6440 to shineH215; and we shall be savedH3467.
Go toG33 nowG3568, ye rich menG4145, weepG2799 and howlG3649 forG1909 yourG5216 miseriesG5004 that shall come uponG1904 you.
YourG5216 richesG4149 are corruptedG4595, andG2532 yourG5216 garmentsG2440 areG1096 motheatenG4598.
YourG5216 goldG5557 andG2532 silverG696 is cankeredG2728; andG2532 the rustG2447 of themG846 shall beG2071 a witnessG3142 againstG1519 youG5213, andG2532 shall eatG5315 yourG5216 fleshG4561 as it wereG5613 fireG4442. Ye have heaped treasure togetherG2343 forG1722 the lastG2078 daysG2250.
BeholdG2400, the hireG3408 of the labourersG2040 whoG3588 have reaped downG270 yourG5216 fieldsG5561, whichG3588 is ofG575 youG5216 kept back by fraudG650, criethG2896: andG2532 the criesG995 of them which have reapedG2325 are enteredG1525 intoG1519 the earsG3775 of the LordG2962 of sabaothG4519.
Ye have lived in pleasureG5171 onG1909 the earthG1093, andG2532 been wantonG4684; ye have nourishedG5142 yourG5216 heartsG2588, asG5613 inG1722 a dayG2250 of slaughterG4967.
