Psalms 15

1 Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

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

2 He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks truth in his heart,

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

3 he who does no slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor,

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

4 in whose eyes a reprobate is despised, but who honors those who fear Jehovah, he that swears to his own hurt, and changes not,

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

5 he who puts not his money out to interest, nor takes a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.

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