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. Yahweh, who may stay in your tabernacle? Who may live on your holy hill?

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

Whoever walks blamelessly, does what is right and speaks truth from his heart.

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

He does not slander with his tongue, he does not harm others, and he does not insult his neighbor.

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;

The worthless person is despised in his eyes, but he honors those who fear Yahweh. He swears to his own disadvantage and does not take back his promises.

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 does not charge interest when he lends money. He does not take bribes to testify against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.
