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. Lord, who can be guest in your tent? Who may live on your holy mountain?

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

The person whose walk is blameless, whose conduct is right, whose words are true and sincere;

3 He does not slander with his tongue, he does not harm others, and he does not insult his neighbor.

on whose tongue there sits no slander, who will not harm a friend,

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.

nor cruelly insult a neighbour, who regards with contempt those rejected by God; but honours those who obey the Lord, who keeps an oath, whatever the cost,

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.

whose money is lent without interest, and never takes a bribe to hurt the innocent. The person who does these things will always stand firm.
