< Psalms 15 >
1 A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, who sojourns in Your tent? Who dwells in Your holy hill?
A psalm of David. Lord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle? or who shall rest in thy holy hill?
2 He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And speaking truth in his heart.
He that walketh without blemish, and worketh justice:
3 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.
He that speaketh truth in his heart, who hath not used deceit in his tongue: Nor hath done evil to his neighbour: nor taken up a reproach against his neighbours.
4 A rejected one [is] despised in his eyes, And he honors those fearing YHWH. He has sworn to endure evil, and does not change;
In his sight the malignant is brought to nothing: but he glorifieth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his neighbour, and deceiveth not;
5 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!
He that hath not put out his money to usury, nor taken bribes against the innocent: He that doth these things shall not be moved for ever.
