13“Oh that You would hide me in Sheol,
         That You would conceal me until Your wrath returns to You,
         That You would set a limit for me and remember me!

14“If a man dies, will he live again?
         All the days of my struggle I will wait
         Until my change comes.

15“You will call, and I will answer You;
         You will long for the work of Your hands.

16“For now You number my steps,
         You do not observe my sin.

17“My transgression is sealed up in a bag,
         And You wrap up my iniquity.

18“But the falling mountain crumbles away,
         And the rock moves from its place;

19Water wears away stones,
         Its torrents wash away the dust of the earth;
         So You destroy man’s hope.

20“You forever overpower him and he departs;
         You change his appearance and send him away.

21“His sons achieve honor, but he does not know it;
         Or they become insignificant, but he does not perceive it.

22“But his body pains him,
         And he mourns only for himself.”
