14 If I sinned, you would be watching me(A)
    and would not let my offense go unpunished.(B)
15 If I am guilty(C)—woe to me!(D)
    Even if I am innocent, I cannot lift my head,(E)
for I am full of shame
    and drowned in[a] my affliction.(F)
16 If I hold my head high, you stalk me like a lion(G)
    and again display your awesome power against me.(H)
17 You bring new witnesses against me(I)
    and increase your anger toward me;(J)
    your forces come against me wave upon wave.(K)

18 “Why then did you bring me out of the womb?(L)
    I wish I had died before any eye saw me.(M)
