< 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. Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tent? who shall dwell in the hill of thy holiness?
2 He that walketh without blame, and doeth what is right, and speaketh truth with his heart;
He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth from 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;
[He that] slandereth not with his tongue, doeth not evil to his companion, nor taketh up a reproach against 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;
In whose eyes the depraved person is contemned, and who honoureth them that fear Jehovah; who, if he have sworn to his own hurt, changeth it not;
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 that] putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these [things] shall never be moved.
