12 Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
13 Yet these things thou didst hide in thine heart; I know that this is with thee:
14 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
15 If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet shall I not lift up my head; being filled with ignominy and looking upon mine affliction.
16 And if my head exalt itself, thou huntest me as a lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvelous upon me.
17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and warfare are with me.
18 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me.
