¹⁰ "But man dies and lies prostrate. Man expires, and where is he?

¹² So man lies down and does not rise. Until the heavens are no longer, He will not awake nor be aroused out of his sleep.
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;
