< Psalms 15 >
1 A Psalm of David. O Lord, who shall sojourn in your tabernacle? and who shall dwell in your holy mountain?
“A psalm of David.” LORD, who shall abide at thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell upon thy holy hill?
2 He that walks blameless, and works righteousness, who speaks truth in his heart.
He that walketh uprightly, and doeth righteousness, And speaketh the truth from his heart;
3 Who has not spoken craftily with is tongue, neither has done evil to his neighbour, nor taken up a reproach against them that lived nearest to him.
He that slandereth not with his tongue, That doeth no injury to his neighbor, And uttereth no reproach against his neighbor;
4 In his sight an evil-worker is set at nothing, but he honours them that fear the Lord. He swears to his neighbour, and disappoints [him] not.
In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; But who honoreth them that fear the LORD; Who sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;
5 He has not lent his money on usury, and has not received bribes against the innocent. He that does these things shall never be moved.
He that lendeth not his money for interest, And taketh not a bribe against the innocent: He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
