11 As water disappears from a lake,
and a river withers away and dries up,[a]
12 so[b] a man lies down, and he does not arise.
Until the heavens are no more,[c] they will not awaken,
and they will not be roused out of their sleep.
13 O that[d] you would conceal me in Sheol,
that you would hide me until your wrath is past,[e]
that you would appoint a set time for me and remember me.
