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 by David.] LORD, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy mountain?

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

He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and 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;

He doesn't slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor lifts up an insult against his neighbor.

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 eyes a vile man is despised, but he honors those who fear the LORD. He keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change it.

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 doesn't lend out his money for interest, nor take a bribe against the innocent. The one who does these things will never be upended.
