| 16 | For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me. | Should I hold my head high, You would hunt me like a lion, and again display Your power against me. | And if my head exalt itself, thou huntest me as a lion; And again thou showest thyself marvellous upon me. |
