13. Please hide me, God,deep in the ground—and when you are angry no more,remember to rescue me.
14. Will we humans live again?I would gladly sufferand wait for my time.
15. My Creator, you would want me;you would call out,and I would answer.
16. You would take care of me,but not count my sins—
17. you would put them in a bag,tie it tight,and toss them away.
18. But in the real world,mountains tumble,and rocks crumble;
19. streams wear away stonesand wash away soil.And you destroy our hopes!
20. You change the way we look,then send us away,wiped out for ever.
21. We never live to knowif our children are praisedor disgraced.
22. We feel no pain but our own,and when we mourn,it's only for ourselves.
