Salme 15

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

A Psalm by David. LORD, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?

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

He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, 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 doesn’t slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man;

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 man is despised, but who honours those who fear the LORD; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn’t change;

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

he who doesn’t lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.
