< 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. Yahweh, who may stay in your tabernacle? Who may live on your holy hill?
2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth from his heart.
Whoever walks blamelessly, does what is right and speaks truth from 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 does not slander with his tongue, he does not harm others, and he does not insult 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;
The worthless person is despised in his eyes, but he honors those who fear Yahweh. He swears to his own disadvantage and does not take back his promises.
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 does not charge interest when he lends money. He does not take bribes to testify against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.
