Psalm 49:13-15

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹³Such is the fate of the foolhardy,
    the end of those^[a] who are pleased with their lot.Selah
¹⁴Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol;
    Death shall be their shepherd;
straight to the grave they descend,^[b]
    and their form shall waste away;
    Sheol shall be their home.^[c]
¹⁵But God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol,
    for he will receive me.Selah
