Psalms 15

1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah, who doth sojourn in Thy tent? Who doth dwell in Thy holy hill?

A Psalm. Of David. Lord, who may have a resting-place in your tent, a living-place on your holy hill?

2 He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And speaking truth in his heart.

He who goes on his way uprightly, doing righteousness, and saying what is true in his heart;

3 He hath not slandered by his tongue, He hath not done to his friend evil; And reproach he hath not lifted up Against his neighbour.

Whose tongue is not false, who does no evil to his friend, and does not take away the good name of his neighbour;

4 Despised in his eyes [is] a rejected one, And those fearing Jehovah he doth honour. He hath sworn to suffer evil, and changeth not;

Who gives honour to those who have the fear of the Lord, turning away from him who has not the Lord's approval. He who takes an oath against himself, and makes no change.

5 His silver he hath not given in usury, And a bribe against the innocent Hath not taken; Whoso is doing these is not moved to the age!

He who does not put out his money at interest, or for payment give false decisions against men who have done no wrong. He who does these things will never be moved.
