സങ്കീർത്തനങ്ങൾ 15

1 ൧ ദാവീദിന്റെ ഒരു സങ്കീർത്തനം. യഹോവേ, അങ്ങയുടെ കൂടാരത്തിൽ ആര് പാർക്കും? അവിടുത്തെ വിശുദ്ധപർവ്വതത്തിൽ ആര് വസിക്കും?

౧దావీదు కీర్తన. యెహోవా, నీ మందిరంలో ఉండదగినవాడు ఎవరు? నీ పవిత్ర పర్వతం మీద నివసించ గలవాడు ఎవరు?

2 ൨ നിഷ്കളങ്കനായി നടന്ന് നീതി പ്രവർത്തിക്കുകയും ഹൃദയപൂർവ്വം സത്യം സംസാരിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നവൻ.

౨అతడు యథార్థమైన ప్రవర్తన కలిగి, న్యాయమైనది చేస్తూ, హృదయంలోనుంచి సత్యం పలుకుతాడు.

3 ൩ നാവുകൊണ്ട് ഏഷണി പറയാതെയും തന്റെ കൂട്ടുകാരന് ദോഷം ചെയ്യാതെയും കൂട്ടുകാരന് അപമാനം വരുത്താതെയും ഇരിക്കുന്നവൻ;

౩అతడు నాలుకతో కొండేలు చెప్పడు. ఇతరులకు హాని చెయ్యడు, తన పొరుగు వాణ్ణి కించపరచడు.

4 ൪ വഷളനെ നിന്ദ്യനായി എണ്ണുകയും യഹോവാഭക്തന്മാരെ ബഹുമാനിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നവൻ; സത്യംചെയ്തിട്ട് നഷ്ടം വന്നാലും വാക്കു മാറാത്തവൻ;

౪అతని దృష్టికి నీచుడు అసహ్యుడు. యెహోవా పట్ల భయభక్తులు గలవాళ్ళను అతడు సన్మానిస్తాడు. అతడు మాట ఇచ్చినప్పుడు నష్టం కలిగినా తన మాట వెనక్కి తీసుకోడు.

5 ൫ തന്റെ ദ്രവ്യം പലിശയ്ക്കു കൊടുക്കാതെയും കുറ്റമില്ലാത്തവന് വിരോധമായി കൈക്കൂലി വാങ്ങാതെയും ഇരിക്കുന്നവൻ; ഇങ്ങനെ ചെയ്യുന്നവൻ ഒരുനാളും കുലുങ്ങിപ്പോകുകയില്ല.

౫అప్పు ఇచ్చేటప్పుడు వడ్డీ తీసుకోడు. నిరపరాధికి వ్యతిరేకంగా సాక్ష్యం చెప్పడానికి లంచం తీసుకోడు. ఇలా చేసేవాడు ఎన్నడూ చలించడు.
