Psalms 15

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

A Psalm. Of David. Lord, who may have a resting-place in your tent, a living-place on your holy hill?

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

He who goes on his way uprightly, doing righteousness, and saying what is true in his heart;

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

Whose tongue is not false, who does no evil to his friend, and does not take away the good name of his neighbour;

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.

Who gives honour to those who have the fear of the Lord, turning away from him who has not the Lord's approval. He who takes an oath against himself, and makes no change.

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.

He who does not put out his money at interest, or for payment give false decisions against men who have done no wrong. He who does these things will never be moved.
