^{14 Ref} If I sinned, then Thou hast observed me, And from mine iniquity dost not acquit me,

^{15 Ref} If I have done wickedly -- wo to me, And righteously -- I lift not up my head, Full of shame -- then see my affliction,

^{16 Ref} And it riseth -- as a lion Thou huntest me. And Thou turnest back -- Thou shewest Thyself wonderful in me.

^{17 Ref} Thou renewest Thy witnesses against me, And dost multiply Thine anger with me, Changes and warfare `are' with me.
