Psalms 15

1 A Psalm by David. LORD, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?

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

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

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

3 he who doesn’t slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man;

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 man is despised, but who honors those who fear the LORD; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn’t change;

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 who doesn’t lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.

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.
