12 So (A)a man lies down and does not rise.
Until the heavens no longer exist,
[a]He will not awake nor be woken from [b]his sleep.

13 “Oh that You would hide me in [c]Sheol,
That You would conceal me (B)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 relief comes.
