< Psalms 15 >
1 A psalm of David. Yahweh, who may stay in your tabernacle? Who may live on your holy hill?
A Psalm of David. O Lord, who shall sojourn in your tabernacle? and who shall dwell in your holy mountain?
2 Whoever walks blamelessly, does what is right and speaks truth from his heart.
He that walks blameless, and works righteousness, who speaks truth in his heart.
3 He does not slander with his tongue, he does not harm others, and he does not insult his neighbor.
Who has not spoken craftily with is tongue, neither has done evil to his neighbor, nor taken up a reproach against them that lived nearest to him.
4 The worthless person is despised in his eyes, but he honors those who fear Yahweh. He swears to his own disadvantage and does not take back his promises.
In his sight an evil-worker is set at nothing, but he honors them that fear the Lord. He swears to his neighbor, and disappoints [him] not.
5 He does not charge interest when he lends money. He does not take bribes to testify against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.
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.
