13 O that you would hide me in Sheol,

    All the days of my service I would wait
    until my release should come.(B)
15 You would call, and I would answer you;
    you would long for the work of your hands.

    you would not keep watch over my sin;(C)

    and you would cover over my iniquity.(D)

13 Oh that thou wouldest hide me in Sheol,
    that thou wouldest conceal me until thy wrath be past,
    that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
14 If a man die, shall he live again?
    All the days of my service I would wait,
    till my release should come.
15 Thou wouldest call, and I would answer thee;
    thou wouldest long for the work of thy hands.
16 For then thou wouldest number my steps,
    thou wouldest not keep watch over my sin;
17 my transgression would be sealed up in a bag,
    and thou wouldest cover over my iniquity.
