Psalms 15

1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tent? who shall dwell in the hill of thy holiness?

En Salme af David. HERRE, hvo kan gæste dit Telt, hvo kan bo paa dit hellige Bjerg?

2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth from his heart.

Den, som vandrer fuldkomment og øver Ret, taler Sandhed af sit Hjerte,

3 [He that] slandereth not with his tongue, doeth not evil to his companion, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour;

ikke bagtaler med sin Tunge, ikke volder sin Næste ondt og ej bringer Skam over Ven,

4 In whose eyes the depraved person is contemned, and who honoureth them that fear Jehovah; who, if he have sworn to his own hurt, changeth it not;

som agter den forkastede ringe, men ærer dem, der frygter HERREN, ej bryder Ed, han svor til egen Skade,

5 [He that] putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these [things] shall never be moved.

ej laaner Penge ud mod Aager og ej tager Gave mod skyldfri. Hvo saaledes gør, skal aldrig rokkes.
