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 I will wait,Till my change comes.
15 You shall call, and I will answer You;You shall desire the work of Your hands.
16 For now You number my steps,But do not watch over my sin.
17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag,And You cover my iniquity.
18 “But as a mountain falls and crumbles away,And as a rock is moved from its place;
19 As water wears away stones,And as torrents wash away the soil of the earth;So You destroy the hope of man.
