New International Version NIV
13 O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
13
“If only you would hide me in the grave and conceal me till your anger has passed! If only you would set me a time and then remember me!
14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
14
If someone dies, will they live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait for my renewal to come.
15 Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
15
You will call and I will answer you; you will long for the creature your hands have made.
16 For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
16
Surely then you will count my steps but not keep track of my sin.
17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.

My offenses will be sealed up in a bag; you will cover over my sin.
