Salme 15

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

A psalm of David. Yahweh, who may stay in your tabernacle? Who may live on your holy hill?

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

Whoever walks blamelessly, does what is right and speaks truth from his heart.

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

He does not slander with his tongue, he does not harm others, and he does not insult his neighbor.

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

The worthless person is despised in his eyes, but he honors those who fear Yahweh. He swears to his own disadvantage and does not take back his promises.

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

He does not charge interest when he lends money. He does not take bribes to testify against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.
