12 Lord Almighty, you test righteous people,
    to see if they are faithful.
You know what people think.
    You know their feelings.
I trust you to show that I am not guilty.
    So punish those people who want to hurt me.
13 Sing to the Lord!
    Praise the Lord!
He rescues poor people
    from the power of wicked people.

14 I would like to curse the day that I was born.
That day was not a happy day,
    the day that my mother gave birth to me.
