13 Though thou hast hid these things in thine heart, yet I know [a]that it is so with thee.

14 If I have sinned, then thou wilt straightly look unto me, and wilt not hold me guiltless of mine iniquity.

15 If I have done wickedly, woe unto me: if I have done righteously, I will not [b]lift up mine head, being full of confusion, because I see mine affliction.

16 But let it increase: hunt thou me as a lion: return and show thyself [c]marvelous upon me.

17 Thou renewest thy plagues against me, and thou increasest thy wrath against me: [d]changes and armies of sorrows are against me.
