12 so[a] a man lies down, and he does not arise.
Until the heavens are no more,[b] they will not awaken,
and they will not be roused out of their sleep.

that you would hide me until your wrath is past,[d]
that you would appoint a set time for me and remember me.

All the days of my compulsory service I will wait,
until the coming of my relief.
