1 To the overseer, to the sons of Korah: chanting. Hear this, all ye peoples; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the World: 2 Also ye sons of Adam, also ye sons of man together, ye rich and needy. 3 My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart understanding. 4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my enigma upon the harp. 5 Wherefore shall I fear in the days of evil, the iniquity of my heel shall surround me. 6 They trusting upon their wealth, and they will glory in the multitude of their riches. 7 A man redeeming shall not redeem the brother, he shall not give to God his ransom: 8 (And the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceased forever:) 9 And he shall yet live forever, he shall not see destruction. Psalms 49:1-9, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
