13 Yet these things you hid in your heart;
    I know that (A)this was your purpose.
14 If I sin, you (B)watch me
    and do not (C)acquit me of my iniquity.
15 (D)If I am guilty, woe to me!
    If I am (E)in the right, I cannot lift up my head,
for I am filled with disgrace
    and (F)look on my affliction.
16 And were my head lifted up,[a] you would hunt me like (G)a lion
    and again work (H)wonders against me.
17 You renew your (I)witnesses against me
    and increase your vexation toward me;
    you (J)bring fresh troops against me.
