00:07.850 --> 00:11.810
Hear this, all people, give ear.

00:13.070 --> 00:17.110
All who dwell on the earth.

00:18.290 --> 00:21.510
Both the high and the low.

00:23.130 --> 00:26.730
Both the rich and the poor.

00:26.730 --> 00:31.710
My mouth shall sound forth with wisdom.

00:32.590 --> 00:36.230
The thoughts of my heart with
understanding.

00:37.450 --> 00:41.270
I'll incline my ear to a proverb.

00:42.370 --> 00:46.750
Solve my riddle to the music of a harp.

00:52.450 --> 00:56.470
What should I fear in times of trouble?

00:57.210 --> 01:02.530
With all the sins of my foes all around
me?

01:03.030 --> 01:06.950
Men who trust in their wealth.

01:07.990 --> 01:11.570
Who boast in the surplus of their riches.

01:11.570 --> 01:16.950
No man can ransom himself.

01:17.730 --> 01:21.810
Or give God the price of his life.

01:22.670 --> 01:26.570
For the ransom of his life is too costly.

01:27.350 --> 01:31.490
That he should always live and never see
the pit.

01:37.390 --> 01:42.110
For since even wise men will die.

01:42.630 --> 01:47.610
So the fool and the ignorant perish.

01:48.490 --> 01:52.490
Leaving their wealth all to others.

01:53.230 --> 01:57.030
Though they thought that their homes were
forever.

01:57.030 --> 02:02.070
Their dwelling for all generations.

02:03.410 --> 02:07.440
They called earthly lands by their names.

02:08.470 --> 02:12.330
But no man abides in his boasting.

02:13.450 --> 02:17.300
Like the beasts of the earth they shall
die.

02:17.300 --> 02:23.060
But God will ransom my soul.

02:23.640 --> 02:27.960
From the power of Sheol.

02:31.690 --> 02:35.310
This is the fate of the foolish.

02:36.590 --> 02:40.570
And of all who approve of their words.

02:40.570 --> 02:45.450
As sheep that are led to Sheol.

02:46.730 --> 02:50.830
With death leading them as their shepherd.

02:51.710 --> 02:55.850
The upright shall reign in the morning.

02:56.790 --> 03:00.890
While their form is consumed by Sheol.

03:00.890 --> 03:05.830
So they shall be left with no dwelling.

03:07.250 --> 03:10.890
But God will ransom my soul.

03:12.010 --> 03:15.850
Yes, God will ransom my soul.

03:17.090 --> 03:21.530
From the power of Sheol.

03:24.850 --> 03:29.090
Fret not for those who get rich.

03:29.930 --> 03:33.850
Though the wealth of his house is
increasing.

03:35.330 --> 03:39.670
He'll carry nothing when he dies.

03:40.210 --> 03:44.610
And his wealth will not go down with him.

03:45.610 --> 03:49.550
Though while he lived he blessed himself.

03:50.370 --> 03:54.150
And was praised for all his success.

03:55.030 --> 03:59.530
He shall go to the place of his fathers.

04:00.470 --> 04:04.610
Who will never again see the light.

04:05.470 --> 04:09.950
But God will ransom my soul.

04:10.650 --> 04:14.930
From the power of Sheol.

04:16.270 --> 04:19.690
God will ransom my soul.

04:20.930 --> 04:25.110
And receive me.
