¹³ If I look for Sheol as my house, If I have spread my couch in the darkness,

¹³ For now should I have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,

²¹ Before I go where I shall not return from, To the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;

²² The land dark as midnight, Of the shadow of death, without any order, Where the light is as midnight.'"

¹⁴ If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my warfare would I wait, Until my release should come.

¹ "My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, And the grave is ready for me.

²³ For I know that you will bring me to death, To the house appointed for all living.

¹⁴ Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.

⁸ If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there!

² He enters into peace; they rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.

²⁵ Yahweh is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him.

²⁶ It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of Yahweh.
