Psalms 15

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

A Psalm. Of David. Lord, who may have a resting-place in your tent, a living-place on your holy hill?

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

He who goes on his way uprightly, doing righteousness, and saying what is true in his heart;

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

Whose tongue is not false, who does no evil to his friend, and does not take away the good name of his neighbour;

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;

Who gives honour to those who have the fear of the Lord, turning away from him who has not the Lord's approval. He who takes an oath against himself, and makes no change.

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.

He who does not put out his money at interest, or for payment give false decisions against men who have done no wrong. He who does these things will never be moved.
