Psalms 15

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

Drottinn, hver fær að leita skjóls og hælis í tjaldi þínu á fjallinu þínu helga?

2 Only those who always do what is right and do not sin may do that. They always say what is true

Sá sem er hógvær og lifir réttlátu lífi.

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.

Sá sem ekki baktalar náungann, leggur sig ekki eftir slúðri né gerir meðbróður sínum mein.

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.

Sá sem andmælir illverkum og fyrirlítur þau. Sá sem heiðrar þá er fylgja Drottni í trúfesti og stendur við orð sín hvað sem það kostar.

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].
