< Psalms 15 >
1 A Psalm of David. LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
Adonai, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?
2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
He who walks blamelessly 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 who does not slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man;
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 whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honors those who fear Adonai; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change;
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 who does not lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.
