12 You, the source of my life,showered me with kindnessand watched over me.
13 You have not explainedall of your mysteries,
14 but you catch and punish meeach time I sin.
15 Guilty or innocent,I am condemned and ashamedbecause of my troubles.
16 No matter how hard I try,you keep hunting me downlike a powerful lion.
17 You never stop accusing me;you become furious and attackover and over again.
18 Why did you let me be born?I would rather have diedbefore birth
