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. Lord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle? or who shall rest 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 that walketh without blemish, and worketh justice:

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 that speaketh truth in his heart, who hath not used deceit in his tongue: Nor hath done evil to his neighbour: nor taken up a reproach against his neighbours.

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 the malignant is brought to nothing: but he glorifieth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his neighbour, and deceiveth 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 that hath not put out his money to usury, nor taken bribes against the innocent: He that doth these things shall not be moved for ever.
