Psalms 15

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

Ein salme av David. Herre, kven skal vera gjest i ditt tjeld? Kven skal bu på ditt heilage fjell?

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

Den som ferdast ulastande og gjer rettferd og talar sanning i sitt hjarta.

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.

Han baktalar ikkje med si tunga, han gjer ikkje vondt imot sin næste og fører ikkje skam yver den som stend honom nær.

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;

Svivyrdeleg er i hans augo den gudlause, men han ærar deim som ottast Herren. Sver han til sin eigen skade, so bryt han då aldri sin eid.

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!

Han låner ikkje sine pengar ut for renta og tek ikkje mutor imot den saklause. Den som gjer dette, skal i all æva ikkje verta rikka.
