¹⁷ Let me not be put to shame,^(A) Lord,
    for I have cried out to you;
but let the wicked be put to shame
    and be silent^(B) in the realm of the dead.

¹⁴ They are like sheep and are destined^(A) to die;^(B)
    death will be their shepherd
    (but the upright will prevail^(C) over them in the morning).
Their forms will decay in the grave,
    far from their princely mansions.

¹⁵ Let death take my enemies by surprise;^(A)
    let them go down alive to the realm of the dead,^(B)
    for evil finds lodging among them.
