1 Dem Musikmeister, von den Korahiten (42,1), ein Psalm. 2 Höret dies, ihr Völker alle, merkt auf, ihr Bewohner der ganzen Welt, 3 sowohl ihr Söhne des Volks als ihr Herrensöhne, beide, so reich wie arm! 4 Mein Mund soll volle Weisheit reden, und meines Herzens Sinnen soll höchste Einsicht sein: 5 ich will mein Ohr einer Gleichnisrede^[1] leihen, will mein Rätsel eröffnen bei Saitenklang. 6 Warum sollt’ ich mich fürchten in bösen Tagen, wenn die Bosheit meiner Verfolger mich umgibt, 7 die auf ihr Vermögen vertrauen und mit ihrem großen Reichtum prahlen? 8 Den Bruder loszukaufen vermag ja doch kein Mensch, noch an Gott das Lösegeld für ihn zu zahlen 9 - denn unerschwinglich hoch ist der Kaufpreis für ihr Leben: er muß davon Abstand nehmen für immer –, 10 damit er dauernd weiterlebe und die Grube nicht zu sehen bekomme. 11 Nein, er bekommt es zu sehen, daß sterben die Weisen, und Toren und Dumme gleicherweise umkommen und müssen andern ihr Gut hinterlassen: 12 Gräber sind ihre Behausung für immer, ihre Wohnungen von Geschlecht zu Geschlecht, ob sie auch Länder mit ihren Namen benannten. 13 Ja, der Mensch – in Herrlichkeit lebt er nicht fort: er gleicht den Tieren, die abgetan werden. 14 Dies ist das Schicksal derer, die voll Zuversicht sind, und der Ausgang derer, die ihren Reden Beifall schenken. SELA. 15 Wie Schafe werden sie ins Totenreich versetzt; der Tod weidet sie, und über sie herrschen die Frommen am Morgen (?); dem Totenreich zur Vernichtung fällt ihre Gestalt anheim, so daß ihr keine Wohnung bleibt. 16 Aber Gott wird meine Seele erlösen aus des Totenreichs Gewalt, denn er wird mich annehmen^[2]. SELA. 17 Drum rege dich nicht auf, wenn jemand reich wird, wenn seines Hauses Herrlichkeit sich mehrt; 18 denn im Tode nimmt er das alles nicht mit: seine Herrlichkeit fährt nicht mit ihm hinab. 19 Mag er sich auch im Leben glücklich preisen und mag man ihn rühmen, daß es ihm wohlergehe: 20 er wird doch eingehn zum Geschlecht seiner Väter, die das Tageslicht nimmermehr sehen. 21 Der Mensch, in Herrlichkeit lebend, doch ohne Einsicht, gleicht den Tieren, die abgetan werden.

For the director of music. A psalm of the Sons of Korah.

1 Hear this, all you nations. Listen, all you who live in this world. 2 Listen, people, whether you are ordinary or important. Listen, people, whether you are rich or poor. 3 My mouth will speak wise words. What I think about in my heart will give you understanding. 4 I will pay attention to a proverb. I will explain my riddle as I play the harp. 5 Why should I be afraid when trouble comes? Why should I fear when sinners are all around me? They are the kind of people who want to take advantage of me. 6 They trust in their wealth. They boast about how rich they are. 7 No one can pay for the life of anyone else. No one can give God what that would cost. 8 The price for a life is very high. No payment is ever enough. 9 No one can pay enough to live for ever and not rot in the grave. 10 Everyone can see that even wise people die. People who are foolish and who have no sense also pass away. All of them leave their wealth to others. 11 Their tombs will remain their houses for ever. Their graves will be their homes for all time to come. Naming lands after themselves won’t help either. 12 Even though people may be very rich, they don’t live on and on. They are like the animals. They die. 13 That’s what happens to those who trust in themselves. It also happens to their followers, who agree with what they say. 14 They are like sheep and will end up in the grave. Death will be their shepherd. But when honest people come to power, a new day will dawn. The bodies of sinners will waste away in the grave. They will end up far away from their princely houses. 15 But God will save me from the place of the dead. He will certainly take me to himself. 16 Don’t get too upset when other people become rich. Don’t be troubled when they become more and more wealthy. 17 They won’t take anything with them when they die. Their riches won’t go down to the grave with them. 18 While they lived, they believed they were blessed. People praised them when things were going well for them. 19 But they will die, like their people of long ago. They will never again see the light of life. 20 People who have riches but don’t understand are like the animals. They die.

Why Should I Fear in Times of Trouble?

1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. Hear this, all peoples! Give ear, all inhabitants of the world, (Ps 42,1; Ps 78,1; Jes 1,2; Mi 1,2)

Ps 42,1Ps 78,1Jes 1,2Mi 1,2

2 both low and high, rich and poor together! (Ps 62,9) 3 My mouth shall speak wisdom; the meditation of my heart shall be understanding. (Spr 1,20; Spr 9,1) 4 I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will solve my riddle to the music of the lyre. (4Mo 12,8; Ps 78,2; Spr 1,6; Mt 13,35)

4Mo 12,8Ps 78,2Spr 1,6Mt 13,35

5 Why should I fear in times of trouble, when the iniquity of those who cheat me surrounds me, (Ps 37,1; Ps 94,13) 6 those who trust in their wealth and boast of the abundance of their riches? (Hi 31,24; Ps 52,7; Spr 11,28; Mk 10,24)

Hi 31,24Ps 52,7Spr 11,28Mk 10,24

7 Truly no man can ransom another, or give to God the price of his life, (Hi 33,24; Mt 16,26; Mt 25,9) 8 for the ransom of their life is costly and can never suffice, (Hi 36,18) 9 that he should live on forever and never see the pit. (Ps 16,10; Ps 89,48) 10 For he sees that even the wise die; the fool and the stupid alike must perish and leave their wealth to others. (Ps 39,6; Ps 73,22; Ps 92,6; Ps 94,8; Spr 30,2; Pred 2,16)

Ps 39,6Ps 73,22Ps 92,6Ps 94,8Spr 30,2Pred 2,16

11 Their graves are their homes forever,^[1] their dwelling places to all generations, though they called lands by their own names. (1Mo 4,17; Ps 5,9; Ps 10,6; Ps 64,6)

1Mo 4,17Ps 5,9Ps 10,6Ps 64,6

12 Man in his pomp will not remain; he is like the beasts that perish. (Ps 39,5; Ps 49,20; Ps 82,7; Pred 3,19)

Ps 39,5Ps 49,20Ps 82,7Pred 3,19

13 This is the path of those who have foolish confidence; yet after them people approve of their boasts.^[2] (Lk 12,20) 14 Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol; death shall be their shepherd, and the upright shall rule over them in the morning. Their form shall be consumed in Sheol, with no place to dwell. (Hi 24,19; Ps 39,11; Dan 7,22; Mal 4,3; Lk 22,30; 1Kor 6,2; Offb 2,26; Offb 20,4)

Hi 24,19Ps 39,11Dan 7,22Mal 4,3Lk 22,301Kor 6,2Offb 2,26Offb 20,4

15 But God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. (1Mo 5,24; Ps 16,11; Ps 17,15; Ps 73,24; Dan 12,2; Hos 13,14)

1Mo 5,24Ps 16,11Ps 17,15Ps 73,24Dan 12,2Hos 13,14

16 Be not afraid when a man becomes rich, when the glory of his house increases. 17 For when he dies he will carry nothing away; his glory will not go down after him. (Hi 27,19; 1Tim 6,7) 18 For though, while he lives, he counts himself blessed —and though you get praise when you do well for yourself— (5Mo 29,19; Ps 10,3; Ps 36,2; Lk 12,19)

5Mo 29,19Ps 10,3Ps 36,2Lk 12,19

19 his soul will go to the generation of his fathers, who will never again see light. (1Mo 15,15; Hi 33,30; Ps 56,13) 20 Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish. (Ps 49,12)
