Salme 15

1 En Psalme af David. Herre, hvo skal være til Herberge i dit Paulun? hvo skal bo paa dit hellige Bjerg?

Yahweh, who are allowed to enter your Sacred Tent? Who are allowed to live on your sacred mountain?

2 Den, som vandrer i Oprigtighed og gør Retfærdighed og taler Sandhed i sit Hjerte;

Only those who always do what is right and do not sin may do that. They always say what is true

3 som ikke bagtaler med sin Tunge, ikke gør sin Næste ondt og ikke driver Spot med sin nærmeste;

and they do not slander others. They do not do to others things that are wrong, and they do not say bad things about others.

4 i hvis Øjne den ugudelige er foragtet, men som ærer dem, som frygte Herren; den, som har svoret sig til Skade og ikke vil forandre det;

[Godly people] hate those whom God has rejected, but they respect those who revere Yahweh. They do what they have promised to do even if it causes them trouble to do that.

5 den, som ikke sætter sine Penge ud imod Aager og ikke tager Gave imod en uskyldig; hvo disse Ting gør, skal ikke rokkes evindelig.

They lend money to others without charging interest, and they never accept bribes in order to lie about people who have not done what is wrong. Those who do those things will never stop trusting God [even if disastrous things happen to them].
