Psalms 15

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

A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, who sojourns in Your tent? Who dwells in Your holy hill?

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

He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And speaking truth in 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 has not slandered by his tongue, He has not done evil to his friend; And he has not lifted up reproach Against his neighbor.

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;

A rejected one [is] despised in his eyes, And he honors those fearing YHWH. He has sworn to endure evil, and does not change;

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 has not given his silver in usury, And has not taken a bribe against the innocent; Whoever is doing these is not moved for all time!
