Psalms 15

1 A Psalm of David. LORD, who shall sojourn in Thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell upon Thy holy mountain?

A Psalm. Of David. Lord, who may have a resting-place in your tent, a living-place on your holy hill?

2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh truth in his heart;

He who goes on his way uprightly, doing righteousness, and saying what is true in his heart;

3 That hath no slander upon his tongue, nor doeth evil to his fellow, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour;

Whose tongue is not false, who does no evil to his friend, and does not take away the good name of his neighbour;

4 In whose eyes a vile person is despised, but he honoureth them that fear the LORD; he that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;

Who gives honour to those who have the fear of the Lord, turning away from him who has not the Lord's approval. He who takes an oath against himself, and makes no change.

5 He that putteth not out his money on interest, nor taketh a bribe against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

He who does not put out his money at interest, or for payment give false decisions against men who have done no wrong. He who does these things will never be moved.
