So man lieth down and riseth not: Till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, Nor be roused out of their sleep.

13

Oh that thou wouldest hide me in Sheol, That thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, That thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!

14

If a man die, shall he liveagain? All the days of my warfare would I wait, Till my release should come.

Thou wouldest call, and I would answer thee: Thou wouldest have a desire to the work of thy hands.

My transgression is sealed up in a bag, And thou fastenest up mine iniquity.
