< Psalms 15 >
1 A psalm of David. Who may enter your sanctuary, Lord? Who may come into your presence on your holy mountain?
Lord, who shall abide in your tabernacle? who shall dwell in your holy hill?
2 Those who live without fault and do what is right, those who sincerely tell the truth.
He that walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart.
3 They do not slander, do not treat their neighbors badly, do not gossip about people they know.
He that backbites not with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor.
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 whose eyes a vile person is scorned; but he honors them that fear the LORD. He that swears to his own hurt, and changes not.
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 that puts not out his money to usury, nor takes reward against the innocent. He that does these things shall never be moved.
