Psalms 15

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

A psalm of David. Yahweh, who may stay in your tabernacle? Who may live on your holy hill?

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

Whoever walks blamelessly, does what is right and speaks truth from 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 does not slander with his tongue, he does not harm others, and he does not insult 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;

The worthless person is despised in his eyes, but he honors those who fear Yahweh. He swears to his own disadvantage and does not take back his promises.

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 does not charge interest when he lends money. He does not take bribes to testify against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.
