O sons ^H1121 of men ^H376, how ^H4100 long ^H5704 will my glory ^H3519 become a reproach ^H3639?

How long will you love ^H157 what ^H7385 is ^H7385 worthless ^H7385 and seek ^H1245 falsehood ^H3577? [fn]Selah ^H5542.

I do not sit ^H3427 with worthless ^H7723 men ^H4962,

And I will not ^H3808 go ^H935 with [fn]pretenders ^H5956.

I hate ^H8130 those who regard ^H8104 worthless ^H7723 idols ^H1892,

But I trust ^H982 in Yahweh ^H3068.

Those who search ^H1245 for my life ^H5315 lay ^H5367 snares ^H5367 for me;

And those who seek ^H1875 [fn]to do me evil ^H7451 have [fn]threatened ^H1696 destruction ^H1942,

And they meditate ^H1897 on deception ^H4820 all ^H3605 day ^H3117 long.

“Behold ^H2009, You have made ^H5414 my days ^H3117 as [fn]handbreadths ^H2947,

And my lifetime ^H2465 as nothing ^H369 before ^H5048 You;

Surely ^H389 every ^H3605 man ^H120, even standing ^H5324 firm ^H5324, is [fn]altogether ^H3605 vanity ^H1892. [fn]Selah ^H5542.

How blessed ^H835 is the man ^H1397 who ^H834 has made ^H7760 Yahweh ^H3068 his trust ^H4009,

And has not [fn]turned ^H6437 to the proud ^H7295, nor to those who stray ^H7750 into falsehood ^H3577.

“Behold ^H2009, the man ^H1397 who would not set ^H7760 God ^H430 as his strength ^H4581,

But trusted ^H982 in the abundance ^H7230 of his riches ^H6239

And was ^H5810 strong ^H5810 in his destruction ^H1942.”

Surely ^H389 [fn]men ^H1121 H120 of low ^H1121 H120 degree ^H1121 H120 are merely vanity ^H1892 and [fn]men ^H1121 H376 of rank ^H376 are a lie ^H3577;

In the balances ^H3976 they go ^H5927 up ^H5927;

They are together ^H3162 lighter than ^H4480 a breath of vanity ^H1892.

So He brought ^H3615 their days ^H3117 to ^H3615 an ^H3615 end ^H3615 in [fn]futility ^H1892

And their years ^H8141 in sudden ^H928 terror ^H928.

Cause ^H5674 my eyes ^H5869 to turn ^H5674 away ^H5674 from looking ^H7200 at worthlessness ^H7723,

And revive ^H2421 me in Your ways ^H1870.

For they speak ^H559 [fn]against You wickedly ^H4209,

And Your enemies ^H6145 [fn]take ^H5375 Your name in vain ^H7723.

Man ^H120 is ^H1819 like ^H1819 a breath ^H1892;

His days ^H3117 are like a passing ^H5674 shadow ^H6738.

Whose ^H834 mouth ^H6310 speaks ^H1696 worthlessness ^H7723,

And whose right ^H3225 hand ^H3225 is a right ^H3225 hand ^H3225 of lying ^H8267.

Set ^H6475 me free ^H6475 and deliver ^H5337 me out ^H5337 of the hand ^H3027 of the sons ^H1121 of a foreigner ^H5236,

Whose ^H834 mouth ^H6310 speaks ^H1696 worthlessness ^H7723

And whose right ^H3225 hand ^H3225 is a right ^H3225 hand ^H3225 of lying ^H8267.

He who sows ^H2232 unrighteousness ^H5766 will reap ^H7114 iniquity ^H205,

And the rod ^H7626 of his fury ^H5678 will end ^H3615.

“[fn]Vanity ^H1892 of vanities ^H1892,” says ^H559 the Preacher ^H6953,

“[fn]Vanity ^H1892 of vanities ^H1892! All ^H3605 is [fn]vanity ^H1892.”

I said ^H559 in my heart ^H3820, “Come ^H1980 now ^H4994, I will test ^H5254 you with gladness ^H8057, so that you shall see ^H7200 good ^H2896 things ^H2896.” And behold ^H2009, it too ^H1571 was vanity ^H1892.

I have seen ^H7200 that every ^H3605 labor ^H5999 and every ^H3605 success ^H3788 of the work ^H4639 is the result of jealousy ^H7068 between a man ^H376 and his neighbor ^H7453. This ^H2088 too ^H1571 is [fn]vanity ^H1892 and striving ^H7469 after wind ^H7307.

Then I looked ^H7200 again ^H7725 at vanity ^H1892 under ^H8478 the sun ^H8121.

He who loves ^H157 money ^H3701 will not be ^H7646 satisfied ^H7646 with money ^H3701, nor ^H3808 he who ^H4310 loves ^H157 abundance ^H1995 with its produce ^H8393. This ^H2088 too ^H1571 is [fn]vanity ^H1892.

For as the crackling sound ^H6963 of thorn ^H5518 bushes ^H5518 under ^H8478 a pot ^H5518,

So ^H3651 is the laughter ^H7814 of the fool ^H3684;

And this ^H2088 too ^H1571 is vanity ^H1892.

I have seen ^H7200 everything ^H3605 during my days ^H3117 of vanity ^H1892; there ^H3426 is ^H3426 a righteous ^H6662 man ^H6662 who perishes ^H6 in his righteousness ^H6664, and there ^H3426 is ^H3426 a wicked ^H7563 man ^H7563 who prolongs ^H748 his life in his evildoing ^H7451.

So ^H3651 then, I have seen ^H7200 the wicked ^H7563 buried ^H6912, those who used to go ^H935 in ^H935 and out from the holy ^H6918 place ^H4725, and they are soon forgotten ^H7911 in the city ^H5892 where ^H834 they did ^H6213 thus ^H3651. This ^H2088 too ^H1571 is vanity ^H1892.

There ^H3426 is ^H3426 vanity ^H1892 which ^H834 is done ^H6213 on the earth ^H776, that is, there ^H3426 are ^H3426 righteous ^H6662 men ^H6662 to whom ^H834 it [fn]happens ^H5060 according to the works ^H4639 of the wicked ^H7563. On the other hand, there ^H3426 are ^H3426 wicked ^H7563 men ^H7563 to whom ^H7945 it [fn]happens ^H5060 according to the works ^H4639 of the righteous ^H6662. I say ^H559 that this ^H2088 too ^H1571 is vanity ^H1892.

It is the same ^H834 for all ^H3605. There is one ^H259 fate ^H4745 for the righteous ^H6662 and for the wicked ^H7563; for the good ^H2896, for the clean ^H2889 and for the unclean ^H2931; for the man who offers ^H2076 a ^H2076 sacrifice ^H2076 and for the one who ^H834 does not sacrifice ^H2076. As the good ^H2896 man ^H2896 is, so is the sinner ^H2398; as the swearer ^H7650 is, so is the one who [fn]is ^H3372 afraid ^H3372 to swear ^H7621.
