Psalms 15

1 A Psalm. Of David. Lord, who may have a resting-place in your tent, a living-place on your holy hill?

“A psalm of David.” Lord, who may sojourn in thy tent? who may dwell on thy holy mount?

2 He who goes on his way uprightly, doing righteousness, and saying what is true in his heart;

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart;

3 Whose tongue is not false, who does no evil to his friend, and does not take away the good name of his neighbour;

That uttereth no calumny with his tongue, that doth no evil to his neighbor, and bringeth no reproach on his fellow-man;

4 Who gives honour to those who have the fear of the Lord, turning away from him who has not the Lord's approval. He who takes an oath against himself, and makes no change.

In whose eyes the despicable is despised; but that honoreth those who fear the Lord; that sweareth to his own injury, and changeth not;

5 He who does not put out his money at interest, or for payment give false decisions against men who have done no wrong. He who does these things will never be moved.

That putteth not out his money for interest, and taketh no bribe against the innocent. He that doth these things shall not be moved to eternity.
