Psaumes 15

1 Psaume de David. O Éternel! Qui séjournera dans ta tente? Qui demeurera 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 dans l’intégrité, qui pratique la justice Et qui dit la vérité selon son cœur.

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

3 Il ne calomnie point avec sa langue, Il ne fait point de mal à son semblable, Et il ne jette point l’opprobre sur 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 Il regarde avec dédain celui qui est méprisable, Mais il honore ceux qui craignent l’Éternel; Il ne se rétracte point, s’il fait un serment à son préjudice.

[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 Il n’exige point d’intérêt de son argent, Et il n’accepte point de don contre l’innocent. Celui qui se conduit ainsi ne chancelle 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].
