Psalms 15

1 A Psalm of David. LORD, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

(En salme af David.) HERRE, hvo kan gæste dit Telt, hvo kan bo på dit hellige Bjerg?

2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh truth in his heart.

Den, som vandrer fuldkomment og øver Ret, taler Sandhed af sit Hjerte;

3 He that slandereth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his friend, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

ikke bagtaler med sin Tunge, ikke volder sin Næste ondt og ej bringer Skam over Ven,

4 In whose eyes a reprobate is despised; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

som agter den forkastede ringe, men ærer dem, der frygter HERREN, ej bryder Ed, han svor til egen Skade,

5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

ej låner Penge ud mod Åger og ej tager Gave mod skyldfri. Hvo således gør, skal aldrig rokkes.
