Salme 15

1 En Salme af David. HERRE, hvo kan gæste dit Telt, hvo kan bo paa dit hellige Bjerg?

Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

2 Den, som vandrer fuldkomment og øver Ret, taler Sandhed af sit Hjerte,

He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks truth in his heart,

3 ikke bagtaler med sin Tunge, ikke volder sin Næste ondt og ej bringer Skam over Ven,

he who does no slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor,

4 som agter den forkastede ringe, men ærer dem, der frygter HERREN, ej bryder Ed, han svor til egen Skade,

in whose eyes a reprobate is despised, but who honors those who fear Jehovah, he that swears to his own hurt, and changes not,

5 ej laaner Penge ud mod Aager og ej tager Gave mod skyldfri. Hvo saaledes gør, skal aldrig rokkes.

he who puts not his money out to interest, nor takes a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.
