“But these things you have concealed in your heart; I know that this is with you:
If I sinned, then you would watch me and you would not acquit me of my iniquity.
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.
If I lift myself up, you hunt me as a fierce lion, and again you display your power against me.
You bring new witnesses against me, and increase your anger against me; relief troops come against me.
