< Psalms 15 >
1 A Psalm by David. LORD, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?
A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, who sojourns in Your tent? Who dwells in Your holy hill?
2 He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart;
He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And speaking truth in his heart.
3 he who does not slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man;
He has not slandered by his tongue, He has not done evil to his friend; And he has not lifted up reproach Against his neighbor.
4 in whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honors those who fear the LORD; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change;
A rejected one [is] despised in his eyes, And he honors those fearing YHWH. He has sworn to endure evil, and does not change;
5 he who does not lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.
He has not given his silver in usury, And has not taken a bribe against the innocent; Whoever is doing these is not moved for all time!
