14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave, And [hungry] death shall them devour; ⟨p. 79⟩And in the morning upright men Shall over them have [ruling] power. Their strength and beauty shall consume, And [it shall] perish in the grave; When carried from their houses, they Shall their [in dust] their dwelling have.

Their strength and beauty shall consume, And [it shall] perish in the grave; When carry'd from their houses, they Shall their [in dust] their dwelling have.
15 But God will sure redeem my soul From the hand of [death and] the grave; For he my hope saviour is, And he [himself] will me receive.
16 Be not discouraged by fear, When wicked men grow [great and] rich; And when the glory of their house, [Their pomp] and power increaseth much.
