Psalms 15

1 Lord, who shall abide in your tabernacle? who shall dwell in your 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 walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart.

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

3 He that backbites not with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbour, nor takes 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 honors them that fear the LORD. He that swears to his own hurt, and changes 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 puts not out his money to interest, nor takes reward against the innocent. He that does 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.
