Rh :That thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past,
 * That thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
 * If a man die, shall he live again?
 * All the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
 * Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee:
 * Thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
 * For now thou numberest my steps:
 * Dost thou not watch over my sin?
 * My transgression is sealed up in a bag,
 * And thou sewest up mine iniquity.
 * And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought,
 * And the rock is removed out of his place.
 * The waters wear the stones:
 * Thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth;
 * And thou destroyest the hope of man.
 * Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth:
 * Thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
 * His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not;
 * And they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
 * But his flesh upon him shall have pain,
 * And his soul within him shall mourn.
