< Psalms 15 >

1 Yahweh, who are allowed to enter your Sacred Tent? Who are allowed to live on your sacred mountain?
A Psalm by David. LORD, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your 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 blamelessly and does what is right, 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 not slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man;
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 vile man is despised, but who honors those who fear the LORD; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change;
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 does not lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.
