< Psalms 15 >
1 [A Psalm by David.] YHWH, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy mountain?
A Psalm of David. Jehovah, who doth sojourn in Thy tent? Who doth dwell in Thy holy hill?
2 He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart.
He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And speaking truth in his heart.
3 He doesn't slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor lifts up an insult against his neighbor.
He hath not slandered by his tongue, He hath not done to his friend evil; And reproach he hath not lifted up Against his neighbour.
4 In his eyes a vile man is despised, but he honors those who fear YHWH. He keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change it.
Despised in his eyes [is] a rejected one, And those fearing Jehovah he doth honour. He hath sworn to suffer evil, and changeth not;
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.
His silver he hath not given in usury, And a bribe against the innocent Hath not taken; Whoso is doing these is not moved to the age!
