Psalm 49:13-15
Holman Christian Standard Bible
13 This is the way of those who are arrogant,
and of their followers,
who approve of their words.[a](A)
14 Like sheep they are headed for Sheol;
Death will shepherd them.
The upright will rule over them in the morning,(B)
and their form will waste away in Sheol,[b]
far from their lofty abode.(C)
15 But God will redeem my life
from the power of Sheol,
for He will take me.(D)

Psalm 49:13-15
New International Version
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).
Their forms will decay in the grave,
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)
