< 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. O Lord, who will dwell in your tabernacle? Or who will rest on your holy mountain?
2 Those who live without fault and do what is right, those who sincerely tell the truth.
He who walks without blemish and who works justice.
3 They do not slander, do not treat their neighbors badly, do not gossip about people they know.
He who speaks the truth in his heart, who has not acted deceitfully with his tongue, and has not done evil to his neighbor, and has not taken up a reproach against his neighbors.
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.
In his sight, the malicious one has been reduced to nothing, but he glorifies those who fear the Lord. He who swears to his neighbor and does not deceive.
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 has not given his money in usury, nor accepted bribes against the innocent. He who does these things will be undisturbed for eternity.
