< Psalms 15 >
1 A psalm of David. Lord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle? or who shall rest in thy holy hill?
“A psalm of David.” Lord, who may sojourn in thy tent? who may dwell on thy holy mount?
2 He that walketh without blemish, and worketh justice:
He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart;
3 He that speaketh truth in his heart, who hath not used deceit in his tongue: Nor hath done evil to his neighbour: nor taken up a reproach against his neighbours.
That uttereth no calumny with his tongue, that doth no evil to his neighbor, and bringeth no reproach on his fellow-man;
4 In his sight the malignant is brought to nothing: but he glorifieth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his neighbour, and deceiveth not;
In whose eyes the despicable is despised; but that honoreth those who fear the Lord; that sweareth to his own injury, and changeth not;
5 He that hath not put out his money to usury, nor taken bribes against the innocent: He that doth these things shall not be moved for ever.
That putteth not out his money for interest, and taketh no bribe against the innocent. He that doth these things shall not be moved to eternity.
