¹⁵ But as for me, God will redeem my life.
    He will snatch me from the power of the grave. Interlude

²⁴ You guide me with your counsel,
    leading me to a glorious destiny.

¹³ for your love for me is very great.
    You have rescued me from the depths of death.^[a]

¹³ For you have rescued me from death;
    you have kept my feet from slipping.
So now I can walk in your presence, O God,
    in your life-giving light.

⁴⁸ No one can live forever; all will die.
    No one can escape the power of the grave.^[a] Interlude

¹⁴ “Should I ransom them from the grave^[a]?
    Should I redeem them from death?
O death, bring on your terrors!
    O grave, bring on your plagues!^[b]
    For I will not take pity on them.

¹⁰ For you will not leave my soul among the dead^[a]
    or allow your holy one^[b] to rot in the grave.
¹¹ You will show me the way of life,
    granting me the joy of your presence
    and the pleasures of living with you forever.^[c]

“You are worthy to take the scroll
    and break its seals and open it.
For you were slaughtered, and your blood has ransomed people for God
    from every tribe and language and people and nation.
