12 You have given me life and constant love,and your care has kept me alive.
13 But now I know that all that timeyou were secretly planning to harm me.
14 You were watching to see if I would sin,so that you could refuse to forgive me.
15 As soon as I sin, I'm in trouble with you,but when I do right, I get no credit.I am miserable and covered with shame.
16 If I have any success at all,you hunt me down like a lion;to hurt me you even work miracles.
17 You always have some witness against me;your anger toward me grows and grows;you always plan some new attack.
18 Why, God, did you let me be born?I should have died before anyone saw me.
