Psalms 15

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

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

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

Whoever walks blamelessly, does what is right and speaks truth from 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 does not slander with his tongue, he does not harm others, and he does not insult 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.

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.

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 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.
