Psalms 15

1 A Psalm of David. LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

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

2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.

He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart.

3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

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

4 In whose eyes a vile person is despised; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

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

5 He that putteth not out his money to interest, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

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.
