12 Life and kindness Thou hast done with me. And Thy  inspection hath preserved my spirit.
         
                                
                        13 And these Thou hast laid up in Thy heart, I have known  that this [is] with Thee.
         
                                
                        14 If I sinned, then Thou hast observed me, And from mine  iniquity dost not acquit me,
         
                                
                        15 If I have done wickedly -- wo to me, And righteously -- I  lift not up my head, Full of shame -- then see my affliction,
         
                                
                        16 And it riseth -- as a lion Thou huntest me. And Thou  turnest back -- Thou shewest Thyself wonderful in me.
         
                                
                        17 Thou renewest Thy witnesses against me, And dost multiply  Thine anger with me, Changes and warfare [are] with me.
         
                                
                        18 And why from the womb Hast Thou brought me forth? I  expire, and the eye doth not see me.
