< Psalms 15 >
1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tent? who shall dwell in the hill of thy holiness?
A Psalm of David. O Lord, who shall sojourn in your tabernacle? and who shall dwell in your holy mountain?
2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth from his heart.
He that walks blameless, and works righteousness, who speaks truth in his heart.
3 [He that] slandereth not with his tongue, doeth not evil to his companion, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour;
Who has not spoken craftily with is tongue, neither has done evil to his neighbor, nor taken up a reproach against them that lived nearest to him.
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;
In his sight an evil-worker is set at nothing, but he honors them that fear the Lord. He swears to his neighbor, and disappoints [him] not.
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.
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.
