13 “Oh that you would hide me in Sheol,[a]
    that you would keep me secret until your wrath is past,
    that you would appoint me a set time and remember me!

    I would wait all the days of my warfare,
    until my release should come.
15 You would call, and I would answer you.
    You would have a desire for the work of your hands.
16 But now you count my steps.

17 My disobedience is sealed up in a bag.
    You fasten up my iniquity.
