Psalms 15

1 Lord, who shall abide in your tabernacle? who shall dwell in your holy hill?

A Psalm of David. Jehovah, who doth sojourn in Thy tent? Who doth dwell in Thy holy hill?

2 He that walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart.

He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And speaking truth in his heart.

3 He that backbites not with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor.

He hath not slandered by his tongue, He hath not done to his friend evil; And reproach he hath not lifted up Against his neighbour.

4 In whose eyes a vile person is scorned; but he honors them that fear the LORD. He that swears to his own hurt, and changes not.

Despised in his eyes [is] a rejected one, And those fearing Jehovah he doth honour. He hath sworn to suffer evil, and changeth not;

5 He that puts not out his money to usury, nor takes reward against the innocent. He that does these things shall never be moved.

His silver he hath not given in usury, And a bribe against the innocent Hath not taken; Whoso is doing these is not moved to the age!
