1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. Hear this, all you peoples, || Give ear, all you inhabitants of the world. 2 Both low and high, together rich and needy. 3 My mouth speaks wise things, || And the meditations of my heart [are] things of understanding. 4 I incline my ear to an allegory, || I open my riddle with a harp: 5 Why do I fear in days of evil? The iniquity of my supplanters surrounds me. 6 Those trusting on their wealth, || And in the multitude of their riches, || Show themselves foolish. 7 A brother ransoms no one at all, || He does not give to God his atonement. 8 And precious [is] the redemption of their soul, || And it has ceased for all time. 9 And still he lives forever, || He does not see the pit. 10 For he sees wise men die, || Together the foolish and brutish perish, || And have left their wealth to others. 11 Their heart [is that] their houses [are] for all time, || Their dwelling places from generation to generation. They proclaimed their names over the lands. 12 And man does not remain in honor, || He has been like the beasts, they have been cut off. 13 This their way [is] folly for them, || And their posterity are pleased with their sayings. Selah. 14 They have set themselves as sheep for Sheol, || Death afflicts them, || And the upright rule over them in the morning, || And their form [is] for consumption. Sheol [is] a dwelling for him. 15 Only, God ransoms my soul from the hand of Sheol, || For He receives me. Selah. 16 Do not fear when one makes wealth, || When the glory of his house is abundant, 17 For at his death he receives nothing, || His glory does not go down after him. 18 For he blesses his soul in his life || (And they praise you when you do well for yourself). 19 It comes to the generation of his fathers, || They do not see the light forever. 20 Man in honor, who does not understand, || Has been like the beasts, they have been cut off!

«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo.

… lost the true rationality, and living irrationally, opposed the righteousness of God, giving himself over to every earthly spirit, and serving all lusts; as says the prophet, "Man, being in honour, did not understand: he was assimilated to senseless beasts, and made like to them." Chapter V.--The author returns to his former argument, and shows that there was but one …
For this he doth by the discernment of his mind, whereby he perceiveth the things "of the Spirit of God;" whereas, otherwise, man being placed in honour, had no understanding, and is compared unto the brute beasts, and is become like unto them. In Thy Church, therefore, O our God, according to Thy grace which Thou hast accorded unto it, …

It is of such the Psalmist says, "They call their lands after their own names." Wherefore they incur what is written in another psalm: "Thou, O Lord, in Thy city wilt despise their image." But as for the son of Seth, the son of the resurrection, let him hope to call on the name of the Lord God.
