10. But we die, and our bodies are laid in the ground;we take our last breath and are gone.
11. Water disappears from a lake,and a river loses its water and dries up.
12. In the same way, we lie down and do not rise again;we will not get up or be awakeneduntil the heavens disappear.
13. “I wish you would hide me in the grave;hide me until your anger is gone.I wish you would set a timeand then remember me!
14. Will the dead live again?All my days are a struggle;I will wait until my change comes.
15. You will call, and I will answer you;you will desire the creature your hands have made.
16. Then you will count my steps,but you will not keep track of my sin.
