“If I am wicked, woe to me. If I am righteous, I still shall not lift up my head, being filled with disgrace, and conscious of my affliction.”
“If I am guilty, woe to me, and if I am innocent, I cannot lift my head; I am full of shame, and satiated with my affliction.”
“And if I be wicked, woe unto me: and if just, I shall not lift up my head, being filled with affliction and 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;”
Thou hast granted me life and lovingkindness; And thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
Yet these things thou didst hide in thy heart; I know that this is with thee:
If I sin, then thou markest me, And thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
If I be wicked, woe unto me; And if I be righteous, yet shall I not lift up my head; Being filled with ignominy, And looking upon mine affliction.
And ifmy head exalt itself, thou huntest me as a lion; And again thou showest thyself marvellous upon me.
Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, And increasest thine indignation upon me: Changes and warfare are with me.
Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me.
