Psalms 15

1 A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, who sojourns in Your tent? Who dwells in Your holy hill?

A psalm of David. Who may enter your sanctuary, Lord? Who may come into your presence on your holy mountain?

2 He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And speaking truth in his heart.

Those who live without fault and do what is right, those who sincerely tell the truth.

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.

They do not slander, do not treat their neighbors badly, do not gossip about people they know.

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;

They reject people the Lord has rejected, but honor those who follow the Lord. They keep their promises even when it's hard to do. They don't change their minds.

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!

They lend money without charging interest. They don't take bribes to testify against the innocent. Those who act like this will never ever fall.
