Psalms 15

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

A Melody of David. O Yahweh! Who shall be a guest in thy tent? Who shall abide in thy holy mountain?

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

He that walketh without blame, and doeth what is right, and speaketh truth with his heart;

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

Hath not carried slander on his tongue, hath not done his friend a wrong, nor, a reproach, taken up against his neighbour;

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;

Despised in his sight, is the reprobate, but, them who revere Yahweh, he doth honour, he hath sworn to his neighbour, and will 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.

His silver, hath he not put out on interest, nor, a bribe against the innocent, hath he taken. He that doeth these things, shall not be shaken unto times age-abiding.
