13 If only you would hide me in Sheol(A)
and conceal me until your anger(B) passes.
If only you would appoint a time for me
and then remember me.
14 When a person dies, will he come back to life?
If so, I would wait(C) all the days of my struggle(D)
until my relief comes.
15 You would call, and I would answer you.
You would long for the work of your hands.(E)
16 For then you would count my steps(F)
but would not take note(G) of my sin.
17 My rebellion would be sealed up in a bag,
and you would cover over my iniquity.

There is Life after Death

13 “Won’t you keep me safe in the afterlife?[a]
    Conceal me until your anger subsides.
Set an appointment for me,
    then remember me.
14 If a human being[b] dies, will he live again?
    I will endure the entire time of my assigned service,
        until I am changed.[c]
15 You’ll call and I’ll answer you;
    you’ll long for your creatures that your hands have made.[d]
16 Then you’ll certainly count every step I took,
    but you won’t keep an inventory of my sin.
17 My transgressions would be sealed up in a bag;
    you would cover over my sins.
