12 Thou hast granted me life and favor, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
13 And these things hast thou hid in thy heart: I know that this is with thee.
14 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from my iniquity.
15 If I be wicked, woe to me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou my affliction;
16 For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou showest thyself wonderful upon me.
17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thy indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
18 Why then hast thou brought me forth from the womb? O that I had expired, and no eye had seen me!
