14 Like sheep, they are destined for the realm of the dead,[a]
    with death as their shepherd.
The upright will have dominion over them in the morning;
    their strength will be consumed in the afterlife,[b]
        so that they have no home.
15 God will truly redeem me from the power[c] of Sheol.[d]
    He will surely receive me!
Interlude

16 Don’t be afraid when someone gets rich,
    when the glory of his household increases.
