9. yet at the scent of water it will budand bring forth boughs like a plant.
10. But man dies and wastes away;yes, man gives up his breath, and where is he?
11. As the waters disappear from the sea,and the flood shrivels and dries up,
12. so man lies down and does not rise;until the heavens are no more, he will not awake,nor be raised out of his sleep.
13. “Oh, that You would hide me in the grave,that You would conceal me until Your wrath is past,that You would appoint me a set timeand remember me!
14. If a man dies, will he live again?All the days of my service I will wait,until my relief 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;do You not observe my sin?
