To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. Hear this, all [ye] people; give ear, all [ye] inhabitants of the world:
Hoor dit, al julle volk; gee oor, al julle inwoners van die wêreld:

King James Version
AFR DVK
2
Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
Beide laag en hoog, ryk en arm saam.
3
My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart [shall be] of understanding.
My mond sal van wysheid spreek; en die meditasie van my hart sal van verstand wees.
4
I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
Ek sal my oor neig tot ‚'n gelykenis: ek sal my donker spreekwoord op die harp oopmaak.
5
Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, [when] the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
Waarom sou ek vrees in die dae van die kwaad, wanneer die ongeregtigheid van my hakke my omsingel?
6
They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
Dié wat op hulle rykdom vertrou, en hulleself in die menigte van hulle rykdom roem;
7
None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
Niemand van hulle kan deur enige middel sy broer verlos nie, en kan aan God geen losprys vir hom gee nie:
8
(For the redemption of their soul [is] precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
(Want die losprys van hulle siel is kosbaar, en dit hou vir ewig op:)
9
That he should still live for ever, [and] not see corruption.
Dat hy nog vir ewig sou lewe, en die verderf nie sien nie.
10
For he seeth [that] wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
Want hy sien dat wyse manne sterwe, net so die dwaas en die onverstandige persoon vergaan, en hulle rykdom aan ander nalaat.
11
Their inward thought [is, that] their houses [shall continue] for ever, [and] their dwelling places to all generations; they call [their] lands after their own names.
Hulle innerlike gedagte is, dat hulle huise vir ewig sal wees, hulle wonings tot alle geslagte; hulle noem hulle lande na hulle eie name.
12
Nevertheless man [being] in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts [that] perish.
Nogtans bly die mens nie in eer nie: hy is soos die diere wat vergaan.
13
This their way [is] their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
Hierdie hulle weg is hulle dwaasheid: tog keur hulle nageslag hulle uitsprake goed. Sela.
14
Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.
Soos skape is hulle in die graf neergelê; die dood sal hulle voed; en die opregte sal heerskappy oor hulle hê in die môre; en hulle skoonheid sal in die graf verteer, van hulle woning af.
15
But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
Maar God sal my siel van die mag van die graf verlos: want Hy sal my ontvang. Sela.
16
Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
Wees nie bevrees wanneer een ryk word nie, wanneer die heerlikheid van sy huis vermeerder word;
17
For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
Want wanneer hy sterwe, sal hy niks saamneem nie: sy heerlikheid sal nie ná hom afdaal nie.
18
Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and [men] will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
Alhoewel hy sy siel in sy lewe geseën het: en manne sal jou prys, wanneer jy goed aan jouself doen.
19
He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
Hy sal na die geslag van sy vaders gaan; hulle sal nooit die lig sien nie.
20
Man [that is] in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts [that] perish.
Die mens wat in eer is, en nie verstaan nie, is soos die diere wat vergaan.
