13 This is the (A)way of those who are foolish,
And of those after them who (B)approve their words. [a]Selah.
14 As sheep they are appointed (C)for [b]Sheol;
Death shall be their shepherd;
And the (D)upright shall rule over them in the morning,
And their form shall be for [c]Sheol (E)to consume
[d]So that they have no habitation.
15 But God will (F)redeem my soul from the [e]power of [f]Sheol,
For (G)He will receive me. Selah.
