Psalms 15

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

Lord, who shall abide in your tabernacle? who shall dwell in 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 that walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the 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 that backbites not with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor, 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 vile person is scorned; but he honors them that fear the LORD. 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 that puts not out his money to usury, nor takes reward against the innocent. He that does these things shall never be moved.
