Psalms 15

1 A psalm of David. Who may enter your sanctuary, Lord? Who may come into your presence on your holy mountain?

(En salme af David.) HERRE, hvo kan gæste dit Telt, hvo kan bo på dit hellige Bjerg?

2 Those who live without fault and do what is right, those who sincerely tell the truth.

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

3 They do not slander, do not treat their neighbors badly, do not gossip about people they know.

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

4 They reject people the Lord has rejected, but honor those who follow the Lord. They keep their promises even when it's hard to do. They don't change their minds.

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

5 They lend money without charging interest. They don't take bribes to testify against the innocent. Those who act like this will never ever fall.

ej låner Penge ud mod Åger og ej tager Gave mod skyldfri. Hvo således gør, skal aldrig rokkes.
