'Yet You have concealed these things in Your heart; I know that this is within You:

And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee.

If I have sinned, You will take note of me, And will not acquit me of my guilt.

If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.

'If I am wicked, woe to me! But if I am righteous, I dare not lift up my head. I am full of shame, and conscious of my misery.

If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;

'And should my head be high, You would hunt me like a lion; And You would show Your power against me again.

For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.

'You renew Your witnesses against me And increase Your anger toward me; Hardship after hardship is with me.

Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
