< Psalms 15 >
1 A Psalm of David. O Lord, who will dwell in your tabernacle? Or who will rest on your holy mountain?
A psalm of David. Lord, who can be guest in your tent? Who may live on your holy mountain?
2 He who walks without blemish and who works justice.
The person whose walk is blameless, whose conduct is right, whose words are true and sincere;
3 He who speaks the truth in his heart, who has not acted deceitfully with his tongue, and has not done evil to his neighbor, and has not taken up a reproach against his neighbors.
on whose tongue there sits no slander, who will not harm a friend,
4 In his sight, the malicious one has been reduced to nothing, but he glorifies those who fear the Lord. He who swears to his neighbor and does not deceive.
nor cruelly insult a neighbour, who regards with contempt those rejected by God; but honours those who obey the Lord, who keeps an oath, whatever the cost,
5 He who has not given his money in usury, nor accepted bribes against the innocent. He who does these things will be undisturbed for eternity.
whose money is lent without interest, and never takes a bribe to hurt the innocent. The person who does these things will always stand firm.
