To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 for the sonsH1121 of KorahH7141. HearH8085 this, all ye peopleH5971; give earH238, all ye inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH2465: {for: or, of}
Both lowH1121+H120 and highH1121+H376, richH6223 and poorH34, togetherH3162.
My mouthH6310 shall speakH1696 of wisdomH2454; and the meditationH1900 of my heartH3820 shall be of understandingH8394.
I will inclineH5186 mine earH241 to a parableH4912: I will openH6605 my dark sayingH2420 upon the harpH3658.
Wherefore should I fearH3372 in the daysH3117 of evilH7451, when the iniquityH5771 of my heelsH6120 shall compassH5437 me about?
They that trustH982 in their wealthH2428, and boastH1984 themselves in the multitudeH7230 of their richesH6239;
None of them canH376 by any meansH6299 redeemH6299 his brotherH251, nor giveH5414 to GodH430 a ransomH3724 for him:
(For the redemptionH6306 of their soulH5315 is preciousH3365, and it ceasethH2308 for everH5769:)
That he should still liveH2421 for everH5331, and not seeH7200 corruptionH7845.
For he seethH7200 that wise menH2450 dieH4191, likewiseH3162 the foolH3684 and the brutish personH1198 perishH6, and leaveH5800 their wealthH2428 to othersH312.
Their inwardH7130 thought is, that their housesH1004 shall continue for everH5769, and their dwellingH4908 places to allH1755 generationsH1755; they callH7121 their landsH127 after their own namesH8034. {all…: Heb. generation and generation}
Nevertheless manH120 being in honourH3366 abidethH3885 not: he is likeH4911 the beastsH929 that perishH1820.
This their wayH1870 is their follyH3689: yet their posterityH310 approveH7521 their sayingsH6310. SelahH5542. {approve…: Heb. delight in their mouth}
Like sheepH6629 they are laidH8371 in the graveH7585; deathH4194 shall feedH7462 on them; and the uprightH3477 shall have dominionH7287 over them in the morningH1242; and their beautyH6697+H6736 shall consumeH1086 in the graveH7585 from their dwellingH2073. {beauty: or, strength} {in the grave from…: or, the grave being an habitation to every one of them}
But GodH430 will redeemH6299 my soulH5315 from the powerH3027 of the graveH7585: for he shall receiveH3947 me. SelahH5542. {power: Heb. hand} {the grave: or, hell}
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.

Nevertheless manH120 being in honourH3366 abidethH3885 not: he is likeH4911 the beastsH929 that perishH1820.
Doth not their excellencyH3499 which is in them go awayH5265? they dieH4191, even without wisdomH2451.
Surely thou didst setH7896 them in slippery placesH2513: thou castedst them downH5307 into destructionH4876.
And HamanH2001 toldH5608 them of the gloryH3519 of his richesH6239, and the multitudeH7230 of his childrenH1121, and all the things wherein the kingH4428 had promotedH1431 him, and how he had advancedH5375 him above the princesH8269 and servantsH5650 of the kingH4428.
HamanH2001 saidH559 moreover, Yea, EstherH635 the queenH4436 did let no man come inH935 with the kingH4428 unto the banquetH4960 that she had preparedH6213 but myself; and to morrowH4279 am I invitedH7121 unto her also with the kingH4428.
Yet all this availethH7737 me nothing, so long asH6256 I seeH7200 MordecaiH4782 the JewH3064 sittingH3427 at the king'sH4428 gateH8179.
Then saidH559 ZereshH2238 his wifeH802 and all his friendsH157 unto him, Let a gallowsH6086 be madeH6213 of fiftyH2572 cubitsH520 highH1364, and to morrowH1242 speakH559 thou unto the kingH4428 that MordecaiH4782 may be hangedH8518 thereon: then goH935 thou in merrilyH8056 with the kingH4428 unto the banquetH4960. And the thingH1697 pleasedH3190+H6440 HamanH2001; and he causedH6213 the gallowsH6086 to be madeH6213. {gallows: Heb. tree}
How are they brought into desolationH8047, as in a momentH7281! they are utterlyH5486 consumedH8552 with terrorsH1091.
So they hangedH8518 HamanH2001 on the gallowsH6086 that he had preparedH3559 for MordecaiH4782. Then was the king'sH4428 wrathH2534 pacifiedH7918.
I saidH559 in mine heartH3820 concerning the estateH1700 of the sonsH1121 of menH120, that GodH430 might manifestH1305 them, and that they might seeH7200 that theyH1992 themselves are beastsH929. {that God…: or, that they might clear God, and see, etc}
For that which befallethH4745 the sonsH1121 of menH120 befallethH4745 beastsH929; even one thingH259 befallethH4745 them: as the one diethH4194, so diethH4194 the otherH2088; yea, they have all oneH259 breathH7307; so that a manH120 hath no preeminenceH4195 above a beastH929: for all is vanityH1892.
