14 They are like sheepwith death as their shepherd,leading them to the grave.In the morning God's peoplewill walk all over them,as their bodies lie rottingin their home, the grave.
15 But God will rescue mefrom the power of death.
16 Don't let it bother youwhen others get richand live in luxury.
17 Soon they will dieand all their wealthwill be left behind.
18 We humans are praisedwhen we do well,and all of us are gladto be alive.
19 But we each will go downto our ancestors,never again to seethe light of day.
20 Our human glory disappears,and, like animals, we die.
