New Living Translation NLT
New International Version NIV
13 “I wish you would hide me in the grave and forget me there until your anger has passed. But mark your calendar to think of me again!
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 Can the dead live again? If so, this would give me hope through all my years of struggle, and I would eagerly await the release of death.
14
If someone dies, will they live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait for my renewal to come.
15 You would call and I would answer, and you would yearn for me, your handiwork.
15
You will call and I will answer you; you will long for the creature your hands have made.
16 For then you would guard my steps, instead of watching for my sins.
16
Surely then you will count my steps but not keep track of my sin.
17 My sins would be sealed in a pouch, and you would cover my guilt.
17
My offenses will be sealed up in a bag; you will cover over my sin.
