< Psalms 15 >
1 A psalm of David. Who may enter your sanctuary, Lord? Who may come into your presence on your holy mountain?
A Melody of David. O Yahweh! Who shall be a guest in thy tent? Who shall abide in thy holy mountain?
2 Those who live without fault and do what is right, those who sincerely tell the truth.
He that walketh without blame, and doeth what is right, and speaketh truth with his heart;
3 They do not slander, do not treat their neighbors badly, do not gossip about people they know.
Hath not carried slander on his tongue, hath not done his friend a wrong, nor, a reproach, taken up against 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.
Despised in his sight, is the reprobate, but, them who revere Yahweh, he doth honour, he hath sworn to his neighbour, and will not 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.
His silver, hath he not put out on interest, nor, a bribe against the innocent, hath he taken. He that doeth these things, shall not be shaken unto times age-abiding.
