14 They are like sheep
with death as their shepherd,
    leading them to the grave.
In the morning God's people
    will walk all over them,[a]
as their bodies lie rotting
    in their home, the grave.
15 But God will rescue me
    from the power of death.

16 Don't let it bother you
when others get rich
    and live in luxury.
