Psalms 15

1 melody to/for David LORD who? to sojourn in/on/with tent your who? to dwell in/on/with mountain: mount holiness your

Yahweh, who are allowed to enter your Sacred Tent? Who are allowed to live on your sacred mountain?

2 to go: walk unblemished: blameless and to work righteousness and to speak: speak truth: true in/on/with heart his

Only those who always do what is right and do not sin may do that. They always say what is true

3 not to spy upon tongue his not to make: do to/for neighbor his distress: evil and reproach not to lift: loud upon near his

and they do not slander others. They do not do to others things that are wrong, and they do not say bad things about others.

4 to despise in/on/with eye his to reject and [obj] afraid LORD to honor: honour to swear to/for be evil and not to change

[Godly people] hate those whom God has rejected, but they respect those who revere Yahweh. They do what they have promised to do even if it causes them trouble to do that.

5 silver: money his not to give: put in/on/with interest and bribe upon innocent not to take: take to make: do these not to shake to/for forever: enduring

They lend money to others without charging interest, and they never accept bribes in order to lie about people who have not done what is wrong. Those who do those things will never stop trusting God [even if disastrous things happen to them].
