For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.
He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.
If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
