Psaumes 15

1 Psaume de David. Eternel, qui séjournera sous ta tente? Qui habitera sur ta montagne sainte?

Yahweh, who are allowed to enter your Sacred Tent? Who are allowed to live on your sacred mountain?

2 Celui qui marche intègre, pratique la justice et dit la vérité de tout son cœur;

Only those who always do what is right and do not sin may do that. They always say what is true

3 qui n’a pas de calomnie sur la langue, ne fait aucun mal à son semblable, et ne profère point d’outrage contre son prochain;

and they do not slander others. They do not do to others things that are wrong, and they do not say bad things about others.

4 qui tient pour méprisable quiconque mérite le mépris, mais honore ceux qui craignent l’Eternel; qui, ayant juré à son détriment, ne se rétracte point;

[Godly people] hate those whom God has rejected, but they respect those who revere Yahweh. They do what they have promised to do even if it causes them trouble to do that.

5 qui ne place pas son argent à intérêt, et n’accepte pas de présent aux dépens de l’innocent. Celui qui agit de la sorte ne chancellera jamais.

They lend money to others without charging interest, and they never accept bribes in order to lie about people who have not done what is wrong. Those who do those things will never stop trusting God [even if disastrous things happen to them].
