STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 שִׁיר מִזְמֹור לִבְנֵי־קֹרַח	1 Unto the end. A Psalm to the sons of Korah.
2 גָּדֹול יְהוָה וּמְהֻלָּל מְאֹד בְּעִיר אֱלֹהֵינוּ הַר־קָדְשֹׁו	2 Hear these things, all nations. Pay attention, all inhabitants of the world:
3 יְפֵה נֹוף מְשֹׂושׂ כָּל־הָאָרֶץ הַר־צִיֹּון יַרְכְּתֵי צָפֹון קִרְיַת מֶלֶךְ רָב	3 whoever is earth-born, you sons of men, together as one, the rich and the poor.
4 אֱלֹהִים בְּאַרְמְנֹותֶיהָ נֹודַע לְמִשְׂגָּב	4 My mouth will speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart will speak prudence.
5 כִּי־הִנֵּה הַמְּלָכִים נֹועֲדוּ עָבְרוּ יַחְדָּו	5 I will incline my ear to a parable. I will open my case with the psaltery.
6 הֵמָּה רָאוּ כֵּן תָּמָהוּ נִבְהֲלוּ נֶחְפָּזוּ	6 Why should I fear in the evil day? The iniquity at my heel will surround me.
7 רְעָדָה אֲחָזָתַם שָׁם חִיל כַּיֹּולֵדָה	7 Those who trust in their own strength and who glory in the multitude of their riches,
8 בְּרוּחַ קָדִים תְּשַׁבֵּר אֳנִיֹּות תַּרְשִׁישׁ	8 no brother redeems, nor will man buy back. He will not give to God his appeasement,
9 כַּאֲשֶׁר שָׁמַעְנוּ ׀ כֵּן רָאִינוּ בְּעִיר־יְהוָה צְבָאֹות בְּעִיר אֱלֹהֵינוּ אֱלֹהִים יְכֹונְנֶהָ עַד־עֹולָם סֶלָה	9 nor the price for the redemption of his soul. And he will labor continuously,
10 דִּמִּינוּ אֱלֹהִים חַסְדֶּךָ בְּקֶרֶב הֵיכָלֶךָ	10 and he will still live, until the end.
11 כְּשִׁמְךָ אֱלֹהִים כֵּן תְּהִלָּתְךָ עַל־קַצְוֵי־אֶרֶץ צֶדֶק מָלְאָה יְמִינֶךָ	11 He will not see death, when he sees the wise dying: the foolish and the senseless will perish together. And they will leave their riches to strangers.
12 יִשְׂמַח ׀ הַר־צִיֹּון תָּגֵלְנָה בְּנֹות יְהוּדָה לְמַעַן מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ	12 And their sepulchers will be their houses forever, their tabernacles from generation to generation. They have called their names in their own lands.
13 סֹבּוּ צִיֹּון וְהַקִּיפוּהָ סִפְרוּ מִגְדָּלֶיהָ	13 And man, when he was held in honor, did not understand. He has been compared to the senseless beasts, and he has become like them.
14 שִׁיתוּ לִבְּכֶם ׀ לְחֵילָה פַּסְּגוּ אַרְמְנֹותֶיהָ לְמַעַן תְּסַפְּרוּ לְדֹור אַחֲרֹון	14 This way of theirs is a scandal to them. And afterwards, they will delight in their mouth.
15 כִּי זֶה ׀ אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵינוּ עֹולָם וָעֶד הוּא יְנַהֲגֵנוּ עַל־מוּת	15 They have been placed in Hell like sheep. Death will feed on them. And the just will have dominion over them in the morning. And their help will grow old in Hell for their glory.
16 קִרְבוּ אֵלַי שִׁמְעוּ־זֹאת לֹא מֵרֹאשׁ בַּסֵּתֶר דִּבַּרְתִּי מֵעֵת הֱיֹותָהּ שָׁם אָנִי וְעַתָּה אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה שְׁלָחַנִי וְרוּחֹו׃ פ	16 Even so, truly God will redeem my soul from the hand of Hell, when he will receive me.
17 כֹּה־אָמַר יְהוָה גֹּאַלְךָ קְדֹושׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ מְלַמֶּדְךָ לְהֹועִיל מַדְרִיכֲךָ בְּדֶרֶךְ תֵּלֵךְ	17 Do not be afraid, when a man will have been made rich, and when the glory of his house will have been multiplied.
18 לוּא הִקְשַׁבְתָּ לְמִצְוֹתָי וַיְהִי כַנָּהָר שְׁלֹומֶךָ וְצִדְקָתְךָ כְּגַלֵּי הַיָּם	18 For when he dies, he will take nothing away, and his glory will not descend with him.
19 וַיְהִי כַחֹול זַרְעֶךָ וְצֶאֱצָאֵי מֵעֶיךָ כִּמְעֹתָיו לֹא־יִכָּרֵת וְלֹא־יִשָּׁמֵד שְׁמֹו מִלְּפָנָי	19 For his soul will be blessed in his lifetime, and he will admit to you when you do good to him.
20 צְאוּ מִבָּבֶל בִּרְחוּ מִכַּשְׂדִּים בְּקֹול רִנָּה הַגִּידוּ הַשְׁמִיעוּ זֹאת הֹוצִיאוּהָ עַד־קְצֵה הָאָרֶץ אִמְרוּ גָּאַל יְהוָה עַבְדֹּו יַעֲקֹב	20 He will even enter with the progeny of his fathers, but, even in eternity, he will not see the light.
21 וְלֹא צָמְאוּ בָּחֳרָבֹות הֹולִיכָם מַיִם מִצּוּר הִזִּיל לָמֹו וַיִּבְקַע־צוּר וַיָּזֻבוּ מָיִם	21 Man, when he was in honor, did not understand. He has been compared to the senseless beasts, and he has become like them.
22 אֵין שָׁלֹום אָמַר יְהוָה לָרְשָׁעִים׃ ס
