Psalms 15

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

A Psalm of David. O LORD, who may abide in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy mountain?

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 with integrity and practices righteousness, who speaks the truth from 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.

who has no slander on his tongue, who does no harm to his neighbor, who casts no scorn on his friend,

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.

who despises the vile but honors those who fear the LORD, who does not revise a costly oath,

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].

who lends his money without interest and refuses a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.
