13. “Oh, that You would hide me in the grave,that You would conceal me until Your wrath is past,that You would appoint me a set timeand remember me!
14. If a man dies, will he live again?All the days of my service I will wait,until my relief comes.
15. You will call, and I will answer You;You will long for the work of Your hands.
16. For now You number my steps;do You not observe my sin?
17. My transgression is sealed up in a bag,and You plaster over my iniquity.
18. “Surely the mountain falling comes to nothing,and the rock is removed out of its place.
19. The waters wear away the stones;its overflow washes away the dust of the earth;and You destroy the hope of man.
20. You prevail forever against him, and he passes on;changing his countenance, You send him away.
21. His sons come to honor, and he does not know it;and they are brought low, but he does not perceive it.
22. But his flesh on him will have pain,and his soul within him will mourn.”
