    death shall be their shepherd,
and the upright (B)shall rule over them in the morning.
    (C)Their form shall be consumed (D)in Sheol, with no place to dwell.
15 But God will (E)ransom my soul from the power of Sheol,
    for he will (F)receive me. Selah

  1. Psalm 49:13 Or and of those after them who approve of their boasts

13 This is the fate of those who trust in themselves,(A)
    and of their followers, who approve their sayings.[a]
14 They are like sheep and are destined(B) to die;(C)
    death will be their shepherd
    (but the upright will prevail(D) over them in the morning).

    far from their princely mansions.
15 But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead;(E)
    he will surely take me to himself.(F)
