Psalms 15

1 A Melody of David. O Yahweh! Who shall be a guest in thy tent? Who shall abide in thy holy mountain?

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

2 He that walketh without blame, and doeth what is right, and speaketh truth with his heart;

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

3 Hath not carried slander on his tongue, hath not done his friend a wrong, nor, a reproach, taken up against his neighbour;

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

4 Despised in his sight, is the reprobate, but, them who revere Yahweh, he doth honour, he hath sworn to his neighbour, and will not change;

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

5 His silver, hath he not put out on interest, nor, a bribe against the innocent, hath he taken. He that doeth these things, shall not be shaken unto times age-abiding.

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