< Psalms 15 >
1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah, who doth sojourn in Thy tent? Who doth dwell in Thy holy hill?
[A Psalm by David.] YHWH, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy mountain?
2 He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And speaking truth in his heart.
He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and speaks truth 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.
He doesn't slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor lifts up an insult against his neighbor.
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;
In his eyes a vile man is despised, but he honors those who fear YHWH. He keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change it.
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 doesn't lend out his money for interest, nor take a bribe against the innocent. The one who does these things will never be upended.
