14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave;
Death shall feed on them;
^aThe upright shall have dominion over them in the morning;
^bAnd their beauty shall be consumed in¹ the grave, far from their dwelling. ‡

15 But God ^awill redeem my soul from the power of¹ the grave,
For He shall ^breceive me. Selah ‡

17 For when he dies he shall carry nothing away;
His glory shall not descend after him.

18 Though while he lives ^ahe blesses himself
(For men will praise you when you do well for yourself), ‡
