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 can be guest in your tent? Who may live on your holy mountain?

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

The person whose walk is blameless, whose conduct is right, whose words are true and sincere;

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

on whose tongue there sits no slander, who will not harm a friend,

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.

nor cruelly insult a neighbour, who regards with contempt those rejected by God; but honours those who obey the Lord, who keeps an oath, whatever the cost,

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.

whose money is lent without interest, and never takes a bribe to hurt the innocent. The person who does these things will always stand firm.
