15 If I am guilty, woe to me!

If I am in the right, I cannot lift up my head,

for I am filled with disgrace

and look on my affliction.

15 If I be wicked, woe unto me;

And if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head.

I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;

15 If I am guilty, too bad for me;

and even if I’m innocent, I can’t hold my head high,

because I am filled with shame and misery.

15 If I am wicked, woe to me;

Even if I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head.

I am full of disgrace;

See my misery!

15 How terrible it will be for me if I am guilty!

Even if I am right, I cannot lift my head.

I am full of shame

and experience only pain.

15 If I be wicked, woe unto me;

And if I be righteous, yet shall I not lift up my head;

Being filled with ignominy,

And looking upon mine affliction.

15 If I were wicked, woe unto me! and righteous, I will not lift up my head, being so full of shame, and beholding mine affliction; —

15 How terrible it will be for me if I’m guilty! 

Even if I’m righteous, I dare not lift up my head. 

I am filled with disgrace 

while I look on my misery. 

15 If I am wicked, woe to me!

And even if I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head.

I am filled with shame

and aware of my affliction.

15 If I am wicked, woe to me!

If I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head,

for I am filled with disgrace

and look upon my affliction.

15 If I am guilty, woe to me!

But if I am righteous, I dare not lift my head;

I am filled with shame, and just look at my misery!

15 If I were guilty, how terrible that would be for me!

Even if I haven’t sinned,

I can’t be proud of what I’ve done.

That’s because I’m so full of shame.

I’m drowning in my suffering.

15 ‘If I am wicked, woe to me!

And if I am righteous, I dare not lift up my head.

I am sated with disgrace and conscious of my misery.
