14. If I sin, then You mark me,And will not acquit me of my iniquity.
15. If I am wicked, woe to me;Even if I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head.I am full of disgrace;See my misery!
16. If my head is exalted,You hunt me like a fierce lion,And again You show Yourself awesome against me.
17. You renew Your witnesses against me,And increase Your indignation toward me;Changes and war are ever with me.
18. ‘Why then have You brought me out of the womb?Oh, that I had perished and no eye had seen me!
