and in your providence watched over my spirit.

13 “But this is what you concealed in your heart,

and I know that this was in your mind:

12 Thou hast granted me life and favour,

And thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.

13 And these things hast thou hid in thine heart:

I know that this is with thee.

12 You gave me life and showed me your unfailing love.

My life was preserved by your care.

13 “ ‘Yet your real motive—

your true intent—

12 You have granted me life and favor,

And Your care has preserved my spirit.
