New International Version (NIV)

16If I hold my head high, you stalk me like a lion

and again display your awesome power against me.

16‘And should my head be high, You would hunt me like a lion;

And You would show Your power against me again.

16‘Should I lift my head up, You would hunt me like a lion;

And again You would show Your marvelous power against me.

16Should I hold my head high,

You would hunt me like a lion,

and again display Your power against me.

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

And again thou showest thyself marvellous upon me.

16But let it increase: hunt thou me as a lyon: returne and shew thy selfe marueilous vpon me.

16If my head is held high, you hunt me like a lion.

Again you show yourself powerful to me.

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

You show your mighty power against me.

16If I try to be brave,

you chase me like a hungry lion.

You show your power to hurt me.

16And it rises—as a lion You hunt me. And You turn back—You show Yourself wonderful in me.
