15 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.
16 If I lift myself up,you hunt me as a fierce lion,and again you display your power against me.
17 You bring new witnesses against me,and increase your anger against me;relief troops come against me.
18 “Why then did you bring me out from the womb?I should have died and no eye would have seen me!
19 I should have been as though I had never existed;I should have been carried right from the womb to the grave!
20 Are not my days few? Cease, then, and leave me alone,that I may find a little comfort,
21 before I depart, never to return,to the land of darkness and the deepest shadow,
