< Psalms 15 >
1 Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
[A Psalm by David.] YHWH, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy mountain?
2 He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks truth in his heart,
He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart.
3 he who does no slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor,
He doesn't slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor lifts up an insult against his neighbor.
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,
In his eyes a vile man is despised, but he honors those who fear YHWH. He keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change it.
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.
He doesn't lend out his money for interest, nor take a bribe against the innocent. The one who does these things will never be upended.
