< Psalms 15 >
1 YHWH, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
A Psalm of David. Jehovah, who doth sojourn in Thy tent? Who doth dwell in Thy holy hill?
2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And speaking truth in his heart.
3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
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 contemned; but he honoureth them that fear YHWH. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth 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 putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth 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!
