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. YHWH, who sojourns in Your tent? Who dwells in Your 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 has not slandered by his tongue, He has not done evil to his friend; And he has not lifted up reproach Against his neighbor.

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.

A rejected one [is] despised in his eyes, And he honors those fearing YHWH. He has sworn to endure evil, and does not change;

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 has not given his silver in usury, And has not taken a bribe against the innocent; Whoever is doing these is not moved for all time!
