< 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 may sojourn in thy tent? who may dwell on thy holy mount?
2 He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And speaking truth in his heart.
He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart;
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.
That uttereth no calumny with his tongue, that doth no evil to his neighbor, and bringeth no reproach on his fellow-man;
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 whose eyes the despicable is despised; but that honoreth those who fear the Lord; that sweareth to his own injury, and changeth 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!
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.
