Salme 15

1 (En salme af David.) HERRE, hvo kan gæste dit Telt, hvo kan bo på dit hellige Bjerg?

A psalm of David. Lord, who can be guest in your tent? Who may live on your holy mountain?

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

The person whose walk is blameless, whose conduct is right, whose words are true and sincere;

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

on whose tongue there sits no slander, who will not harm a friend,

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

nor cruelly insult a neighbour, who regards with contempt those rejected by God; but honours those who obey the Lord, who keeps an oath, whatever the cost,

5 ej låner Penge ud mod Åger og ej tager Gave mod skyldfri. Hvo således gør, skal aldrig rokkes.

whose money is lent without interest, and never takes a bribe to hurt the innocent. The person who does these things will always stand firm.
