Truly, when a man dies, and has been left unprotected, and has decayed, I ask you where is he?
It is as if the waters had receded from the sea and an emptied river had dried up;
just so, when a man is fallen asleep, he will not rise again, until the heavens are worn away; he will not awaken, nor rise from his sleep.
Who will grant this to me, that you will protect me in the underworld, and hide me until your fury passes by, and establish a time for me, in which you will remember me?
Do you suppose that a dead man will live again? On each of the days in which I now battle, I wait until my transformation occurs.
You will call me and I will answer you; to the work of your hands, you will extend your right hand.
Indeed, you have numbered my steps, but you have been lenient with my sins.
