13 “Oh, that You would hide me in the grave,
That You would conceal me until Your wrath is 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 hard service (A)I will wait,
Till my change comes.
15 (B)You shall call, and I will answer You;
You shall desire the work of Your hands.
16 For now (C)You number my steps,
But do not watch over my sin.
17 (D)My transgression is sealed up in a bag,
And You [a]cover my iniquity.

  1. Job 14:17 Lit. plaster over

13 O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave,
that thou wouldest keep me secret, 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 appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
15 Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee:
thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
16 For now thou numberest my steps:
dost thou not watch over my sin?
17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag,
and thou sewest up mine iniquity.
