Psalms 15

1 A Psalm of David. O Lord, who shall sojourn in your tabernacle? and who shall dwell in your holy mountain?

A psalm of David. Lord, who can be guest in your tent? Who may live on your holy mountain?

2 He that walks blameless, and works righteousness, who speaks truth in his heart.

The person whose walk is blameless, whose conduct is right, whose words are true and sincere;

3 Who has not spoken craftily with is tongue, neither has done evil to his neighbor, nor taken up a reproach against them that lived nearest to him.

on whose tongue there sits no slander, who will not harm a friend,

4 In his sight an evil-worker is set at nothing, but he honors them that fear the Lord. He swears to his neighbor, and disappoints [him] not.

nor cruelly insult a neighbour, who regards with contempt those rejected by God; but honours those who obey the Lord, who keeps an oath, whatever the cost,

5 He has not lent his money on usury, and has not received bribes against the innocent. He that does these things shall never be moved.

whose money is lent without interest, and never takes a bribe to hurt the innocent. The person who does these things will always stand firm.
