12. But, O Lord of hosts, that triest the righteous, that seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them; for unto thee have I revealed my cause.
13. Sing unto the Lord, praise ye the Lord: for he hath delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evil-doers.
14. Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.
15. Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.
16. And let that man be as the cities which the Lord overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontide;
17. because he slew me not from the womb; and so my mother should have been my grave, and her womb always great.
18. Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
