13 This is what will happen to those who trust in themselves
    and to their followers who believe them. Selah
14 Like sheep, they must die,
    and death will be their shepherd.
Honest people will rule over them in the morning,
    and their bodies will rot in a grave far from home.
15 But God will save my life
    and will take me from the grave. Selah

13 This is the fate of those who trust in themselves,(A)
    and of their followers, who approve their sayings.[a]

    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)
