Salme 15

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

A Psalm. Of David. Lord, who may have a resting-place in your tent, a living-place on your holy hill?

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

He who goes on his way uprightly, doing righteousness, and saying what is true in his heart;

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

Whose tongue is not false, who does no evil to his friend, and does not take away the good name of his neighbour;

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

Who gives honour to those who have the fear of the Lord, turning away from him who has not the Lord's approval. He who takes an oath against himself, and makes no change.

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

He who does not put out his money at interest, or for payment give false decisions against men who have done no wrong. He who does these things will never be moved.
