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 shall dwell in thy tabernacle? or who shall rest in thy holy hill?

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

He that walketh without blemish, and worketh justice:

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

He that speaketh truth in his heart, who hath not used deceit in his tongue: Nor hath done evil to his neighbour: nor taken up a reproach against his neighbours.

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

In his sight the malignant is brought to nothing: but he glorifieth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his neighbour, and deceiveth not;

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

He that hath not put out his money to usury, nor taken bribes against the innocent: He that doth these things shall not be moved for ever.
