Psalms 15

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

A Psalm of David. O LORD, who may abide in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy mountain?

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

He who walks with integrity and practices righteousness, who speaks the truth from his heart,

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

who has no slander on his tongue, who does no harm to his neighbor, who casts no scorn on his friend,

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

who despises the vile but honors those who fear the LORD, who does not revise a costly oath,

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.

who lends his money without interest and refuses a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.
