Psalms 15

1 [A Psalm by David.] Jehovah, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy mountain?

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

2 He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart.

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

3 He doesn't slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor lifts up an insult against his neighbor.

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

4 In his eyes a vile man is despised, but he honors those who fear Jehovah. He keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change it.

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 doesn't lend out his money for interest, nor take a bribe against the innocent. The one who does these things will never be upended.

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.
