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 abide at thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell upon thy holy hill?

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

He that walketh uprightly, and doeth righteousness, And speaketh the truth from his heart;

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

He that slandereth not with his tongue, That doeth no injury to his neighbor, And uttereth no 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 vile person is contemned; But who honoreth them that fear the LORD; Who sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;

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

He that lendeth not his money for interest, And taketh not a bribe against the innocent: He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
