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.] Jehovah, 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 neighbor, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor.

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 contemned; but he honoreth 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 Jehovah. He keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change it.

5 [He that] putteth not out his money to usury, 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.
