< Sálmarnir 15 >
1 Drottinn, hver fær að leita skjóls og hælis í tjaldi þínu á fjallinu þínu helga?
A Psalm. Of David. Lord, who may have a resting-place in your tent, a living-place on your holy hill?
2 Sá sem er hógvær og lifir réttlátu lífi.
He who goes on his way uprightly, doing righteousness, and saying what is true in his heart;
3 Sá sem ekki baktalar náungann, leggur sig ekki eftir slúðri né gerir meðbróður sínum mein.
Whose tongue is not false, who does no evil to his friend, and does not take away the good name of his neighbour;
4 Sá sem andmælir illverkum og fyrirlítur þau. Sá sem heiðrar þá er fylgja Drottni í trúfesti og stendur við orð sín hvað sem það kostar.
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.
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.
