16 And were my head lifted up, you would hunt me like a lion

and again work wonders against me.

17 You renew your witnesses against me

and increase your vexation toward me;

you bring fresh troops against me.

16 For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion:

And again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.

17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me,

And increasest thine indignation upon me;

Changes and war are against me.

16 And if I hold my head high, you hunt me like a lion

and display your awesome power against me.

17 Again and again you witness against me.

You pour out your growing anger on me

and bring fresh armies against me.

16 If my head is exalted,

You hunt me like a fierce lion,

And again You show Yourself awesome against me.

17 You renew Your witnesses against me,

And increase Your indignation toward me;

Changes and war are ever with me.

16 If I hold up my head, you hunt me like a lion

and again show your terrible power against me.

17 You bring new witnesses against me

and increase your anger against me.

Your armies come against me.

16 And if my head exalt itself, thou huntest me as a lion;

And again thou showest thyself marvellous upon me.

17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me,

And increasest thine indignation upon me:

Changes and warfare are with me.

16 And it increaseth: thou huntest me as a fierce lion; and ever again thou shewest thy marvellous power upon me. 17 Thou renewest thy witnesses before me and increasest thy displeasure against me; successions of evil and a time of toil are with me.

16 Like a proud, ferocious lion you hunt me down. 

You keep working your miracles against me. 

17 You keep finding new witnesses against me. 

You keep increasing your anger toward me. 

You keep bringing new armies against me. 

16 If I am proud, You hunt me like a lion

and again display Your miraculous power against me.

17 You produce new witnesses against me

and multiply Your anger toward me.

Hardships assault me, wave after wave.

16 Bold as a lion you hunt me;

you repeat your exploits against me.

17 You renew your witnesses against me,

and increase your vexation toward me;

you bring fresh troops against me.

16 And if my head grows bold, you would hunt me as the lion in its prime;

and you repeat your exploits against me.

17 You renew your witnesses against me,

and you increase your vexation against me;

relief forces are against me.

16 If I become proud, you hunt me down like a lion.

You show your mighty power against me.

17 You bring new witnesses against me.

You become more and more angry with me.

You use your power against me again and again.

16 ‘Should my head be lifted up, You would hunt me like a lion;

And again You would show Your power against me.

17 ‘You renew Your witnesses against me

And increase Your anger toward me;

Hardship after hardship is with me.
