Psalms 15

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

“A psalm of David.” Lord, who may sojourn in thy tent? who may dwell on thy holy mount?

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

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

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

That uttereth no calumny with his tongue, that doth no evil to his neighbor, and bringeth no reproach on his fellow-man;

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.

In whose eyes the despicable is despised; but that honoreth those who fear the Lord; that sweareth to his own injury, and changeth not;

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.

That putteth not out his money for interest, and taketh no bribe against the innocent. He that doth these things shall not be moved to eternity.
