Salme 15

1 En Salme af David. HERRE, hvo kan gæste dit Telt, hvo kan 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 fuldkomment og øver Ret, taler Sandhed af sit Hjerte,

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

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

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

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

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].
