Psalms 15

1 LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

A Melody of David. O Yahweh! Who shall be a guest in thy tent? Who shall abide in thy holy mountain?

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

He that walketh without blame, and doeth what is right, and speaketh truth with his heart;

3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

Hath not carried slander on his tongue, hath not done his friend a wrong, nor, a reproach, taken up against his neighbour;

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

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 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

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.
