Psalms 15

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

[A Psalm by David.] LORD, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy mountain?

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

He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart.

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

He doesn't slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor lifts up an insult against his neighbor.

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

In his eyes a vile man is despised, but he honors those who fear the LORD. He keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change it.

5 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.

He doesn't lend out his money for interest, nor take a bribe against the innocent. The one who does these things will never be upended.
