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 shall abide at thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell upon thy holy hill?

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

He that walketh uprightly, and doeth righteousness, And speaketh the truth from his heart;

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

He that slandereth not with his tongue, That doeth no injury to his neighbor, And uttereth no 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 contemned; But who honoreth them that fear the LORD; Who sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth 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 lendeth not his money for interest, And taketh not a bribe against the innocent: He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
