Salme 15

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

A Psalm of David. Jehovah, who doth sojourn in Thy tent? Who doth dwell in Thy holy hill?

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

He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And speaking truth in his heart.

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

He hath not slandered by his tongue, He hath not done to his friend evil; And reproach he hath not lifted up Against his neighbour.

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

Despised in his eyes [is] a rejected one, And those fearing Jehovah he doth honour. He hath sworn to suffer evil, and changeth not;

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

His silver he hath not given in usury, And a bribe against the innocent Hath not taken; Whoso is doing these is not moved to the age!
