13 If only You would hide me in Sheol and conceal me until Your anger has passed! If only You would appoint a time for me and then remember me! 14 When a man dies, will he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, until my renewal comes. 15 You will call, and I will answer; You will desire the work of Your hands. 16 For then You would count my steps, but would not keep track of my sin. 17 My transgression would be sealed in a bag, and You would cover over my iniquity. 18 But as a mountain erodes and crumbles and a rock is dislodged from its place, 19 as water wears away the stones and torrents wash away the soil, so You destroy a man’s hope.
