Psalms 15

1 A psalm of David. Yahweh, who may stay in your tabernacle? Who may live on your holy hill?

[A Psalm by David.] Jehovah, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy mountain?

2 Whoever walks blamelessly, does what is right and speaks truth from his heart.

He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and 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.

He doesn't slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor lifts up an insult against his neighbor.

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 eyes a vile man is despised, but he honors those who fear Jehovah. He keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change it.

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 doesn't lend out his money for interest, nor take a bribe against the innocent. The one who does these things will never be upended.
