13 “Oh that You would conceal me in Sheol,
That You would hide me (A)until Your anger returns to You,
That You would set a limit for me and remember me!

Until my change comes.
15 You will call, and I will answer You;
You will long for (B)the work of Your hands.

You do not (D)keep watch over my sin.
17 My transgression is (E)sealed up in a bag,
And You [a]cover up my iniquity.
