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!
14 If a man dies, will he live again?
    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.
    Don’t you watch over my sin?
17 My disobedience is sealed up in a bag.
    You fasten up my iniquity.

  1. 14:13 Sheol is the place of the dead.

13 Oh that you would (A)hide me in (B)Sheol,
    that you would (C)conceal me (D)until your wrath be past,
    that you would appoint me a set time, and remember me!
14 If a man dies, shall he live again?
    All the days of my (E)service I would (F)wait,
    till my renewal[a] should come.
15 You would (G)call, and I would answer you;
    you would long for the (H)work of your hands.
16 For then you would (I)number my steps;
    you would not keep (J)watch over my sin;
17 my transgression would be (K)sealed up in a bag,
    and you would cover over my iniquity.
