I know that this is within You:
14 If I have sinned, You will (B)take note of me,
And (C)will not acquit me of my guilt.
15 If (D)I am wicked, woe to me!
But if (E)I am righteous, I dare not lift up my head.
I am full of shame, and [a]conscious of my misery.
16 And should my head be high, (F)You would hunt me like a lion;
And You would show Your (G)power against me again.
17 You renew (H)Your witnesses against me
And increase Your anger toward me;
[b](I)Hardship after hardship is with me.

    Look at my affliction!
16 But if I do lift up my head,
    you will hunt me like a lion!
        You will perform miracles in order to fight against me.
