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 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.
