^6 (A)I said, “You are gods,
    sons of the Most High, all of you;
⁷ nevertheless, like men ^(B)you shall die,
    and fall like any prince.”^[a]

¹⁰ For he sees ^(G)that even the wise die;
    ^(H)the fool and the stupid alike must perish
    and ^(I)leave their wealth to others.
¹¹ Their ^(J)graves are their homes forever,^[a]
    their dwelling places ^(K)to all generations,
    though they ^(L)called lands by their own names.
¹² Man in his pomp ^(M)will not remain;
    ^(N)he is like the beasts that perish.

¹³ This is the path of those who have ^(O)foolish confidence;
    yet after them people approve of their boasts.^[b] Selah
¹⁴ Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol;
    death shall be their shepherd,
and the upright ^(P)shall rule over them in the morning.
    ^(Q)Their form shall be consumed ^(R)in Sheol, with no place to dwell.
