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 shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? and who shall dwell in thy 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 that walks blameless, and works righteousness, who 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.

Who has not spoken craftily with is tongue, neither has done evil to his neighbour, nor taken up a reproach against them that dwelt nearest to him.

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 his sight an evil-worker is set at nought, but he honours them that fear the Lord. He swears to his neighbour, and disappoints [him] 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 has not lent his money on usury, and has not received bribes against the innocent. He that does these things shall never be moved.
