10But a man dies and is laid low; he breathes his last, and where is he?10But man dies and is powerless; he expires--and where is he?
11As water disappears from the sea and a river becomes parched and dry,11As water disappears from the sea, or a river drains away and dries up,

13If only You would hide me in Sheol and conceal me until Your anger has passed! If only You would appoint a time for me and then remember me!13"O that you would hide me in Sheol, and conceal me till your anger has passed! O that you would set me a time and then remember me!
