13 Yet You have concealed (A)these things in Your heart;
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.

13 Yet these things thou didst hide in thy heart;
    I know that this was thy purpose.
14 If I sin, thou dost mark me,
    and dost not acquit me of my iniquity.
15 If I am wicked, woe to me!
    If I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head,
for I am filled with disgrace
    and look upon my affliction.
16 And if I lift myself up,[a] thou dost hunt me like a lion,
    and again work wonders against me;
17 thou dost renew thy witnesses against me,
    and increase thy vexation toward me;
    thou dost bring fresh hosts against me.[b]
