Psalms 15

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

(En salme af David.) HERRE, hvo kan gæste dit Telt, hvo kan bo på dit hellige Bjerg?

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

Den, som vandrer fuldkomment og øver Ret, taler Sandhed af sit Hjerte;

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

ikke bagtaler med sin Tunge, ikke volder sin Næste ondt og ej bringer Skam over Ven,

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

som agter den forkastede ringe, men ærer dem, der frygter HERREN, ej bryder Ed, han svor til egen Skade,

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

ej låner Penge ud mod Åger og ej tager Gave mod skyldfri. Hvo således gør, skal aldrig rokkes.
