12 You gave me life and faithful love,

and your care has guarded my life.

13 “Yet you concealed these thoughts in your heart;

I know that this was your hidden plan:B

14 if I sin, you would notice,C

and would not acquit me of my iniquity.i

15 If I am wicked, woe to me!

And even if I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head.

I am filled with shamej

and have drunk deeply ofD my affliction.k

16 If I am proud,E you hunt me like a lion

and again display your miraculous power against me.l
