< Psalms 15 >
1 Yahweh, who are allowed to enter your Sacred Tent? Who are allowed to live on your sacred mountain?
Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
2 Only those who always do what is right and do not sin may do that. They always say what is true
He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks truth in his heart,
3 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.
he who does no slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor,
4 [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.
in whose eyes a reprobate is despised, but who honors those who fear Jehovah, he that swears to his own hurt, and changes not,
5 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].
he who puts not his money out to interest, nor takes a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.
