⁵ Why should I fear in times of trouble?
The iniquity of my foes surrounds me.^(C1)6 They trust in their wealth
and boast of their abundant riches.^(C1)7 Yet these cannot redeem a person^(F1)
or pay his ransom to God^(C1)—⁸ since the price of redeeming him is too costly,
one should forever stop trying^(F1)(C1)—⁹ so that he may live forever
and not see the Pit.^(C1)

¹⁰ For one can see that the wise die;
the foolish and stupid also pass away.^(C1)
Then they leave their wealth to others.^(C2)11 Their graves are their permanent homes,^(F1)
their dwellings from generation to generation,
though they have named estates after themselves.^(C1)12 But despite his assets,^(F1) mankind will not last;
he is like the animals that perish.^(C1)

¹³ This is the way of those who are arrogant,
and of their followers,
who approve of their words.^(F1)(C1)Selah¹⁴ Like sheep they are headed for Sheol;
Death will shepherd them.
The upright will rule over them in the morning,^(C1)
and their form will waste away in Sheol,^(F1)
far from their lofty abode.^(C2)15 But God will redeem me
from the power of Sheol,
for he will take me.^(C1)Selah

¹⁶ Do not be afraid when a person gets rich,
when the wealth^(F1) of his house increases.^(C1)17 For when he dies, he will take nothing at all;
his wealth will not follow him down.^(C1)18 Though he blesses himself during his lifetime—
and you are acclaimed when you do well for yourself^(C1)—¹⁹ he will go to the generation of his fathers;
they will never see the light.^(C1)20 Mankind, with his assets
but without understanding,
is like the animals that perish.^(C1)
