Psalms 15

1 A Psalm of David. O LORD, who may abide in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy mountain?

A psalm of David. Who may enter your sanctuary, Lord? Who may come into your presence on your holy mountain?

2 He who walks with integrity and practices righteousness, who speaks the truth from his heart,

Those who live without fault and do what is right, those who sincerely tell the truth.

3 who has no slander on his tongue, who does no harm to his neighbor, who casts no scorn on his friend,

They do not slander, do not treat their neighbors badly, do not gossip about people they know.

4 who despises the vile but honors those who fear the LORD, who does not revise a costly oath,

They reject people the Lord has rejected, but honor those who follow the Lord. They keep their promises even when it's hard to do. They don't change their minds.

5 who lends his money without interest and refuses a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.

They lend money without charging interest. They don't take bribes to testify against the innocent. Those who act like this will never ever fall.
