< Psalms 15 >
1 A Psalm of David. LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
A Psalm of David. O Lord, who will dwell in your tabernacle? Or who will rest on your holy mountain?
2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
He who walks without blemish and who works justice.
3 [He that] backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
He who speaks the truth in his heart, who has not acted deceitfully with his tongue, and has not done evil to his neighbor, and has not taken up a reproach against his neighbors.
4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. [He that] sweareth to [his own] hurt, and changeth not.
In his sight, the malicious one has been reduced to nothing, but he glorifies those who fear the Lord. He who swears to his neighbor and does not deceive.
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.
He who has not given his money in usury, nor accepted bribes against the innocent. He who does these things will be undisturbed for eternity.
