Psalms 15

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

(En salme af David.) HERRE, hvo kan gæste dit Telt, hvo kan bo på dit hellige Bjerg?

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

Den, som vandrer fuldkomment og øver Ret, taler Sandhed af sit Hjerte;

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

ikke bagtaler med sin Tunge, ikke volder sin Næste ondt og ej bringer Skam over Ven,

4 in whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honors those who fear Yahweh; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn’t change;

som agter den forkastede ringe, men ærer dem, der frygter HERREN, ej bryder Ed, han svor til egen Skade,

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.

ej låner Penge ud mod Åger og ej tager Gave mod skyldfri. Hvo således gør, skal aldrig rokkes.
