< תהילים 15 >
מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד יְהֹוָה מִי־יָגוּר בְּאָהֳלֶךָ מִֽי־יִשְׁכֹּן בְּהַר קָדְשֶֽׁךָ׃ | 1 |
Yahweh, who are allowed to enter your Sacred Tent? Who are allowed to live on your sacred mountain?
הוֹלֵךְ תָּמִים וּפֹעֵל צֶדֶק וְדֹבֵר אֱמֶת בִּלְבָבֽוֹ׃ | 2 |
Only those who always do what is right and do not sin may do that. They always say what is true
לֹֽא־רָגַל ׀ עַל־לְשֹׁנוֹ לֹא־עָשָׂה לְרֵעֵהוּ רָעָה וְחֶרְפָּה לֹא־נָשָׂא עַל־קְרֹֽבוֹ׃ | 3 |
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.
נִבְזֶה ׀ בְּֽעֵינָיו נִמְאָס וְאֶת־יִרְאֵי יְהוָה יְכַבֵּד נִשְׁבַּע לְהָרַע וְלֹא יָמִֽר׃ | 4 |
[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.
כַּסְפּוֹ ׀ לֹא־נָתַן בְּנֶשֶׁךְ וְשֹׁחַד עַל־נָקִי לֹא לָקָח עֹֽשֵׂה־אֵלֶּה לֹא יִמּוֹט לְעוֹלָֽם׃ | 5 |
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].
