13 Yet you hid these things in your heart.
    I know that this is with you:
14 if I sin, then you mark me.
    You will not acquit me from my iniquity.
15 If I am wicked, woe to me.
    If I am righteous, I still will not lift up my head,
    being filled with disgrace,
    and conscious of my affliction.
16 If my head is held high, you hunt me like a lion.
    Again you show yourself powerful to me.
17 You renew your witnesses against me,
    and increase your indignation on me.
    Changes and warfare are with me.

13 “‘Yet[a] you hid these things in your heart;
I know that this was your purpose.[b]
14 If I had sinned, then[c] you would be watching me,
and you would not acquit me of my guilt.
15 If I am guilty, woe to me!
But[d] if I am righteous, I dare not lift my head;
I am filled with shame, and just look at my misery!
16 And if my head grows bold, you would hunt me as the lion in its prime;
and you repeat your exploits against me.[e]
17 You renew your witnesses against me,
and you increase your vexation against me;
relief forces[f] are against me.
