Psalms 15

1 A Psalm. Of David. Lord, who may have a resting-place in your tent, a living-place on your holy hill?

[A Psalm by David.] LORD, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy mountain?

2 He who goes on his way uprightly, doing righteousness, and saying what is true in his heart;

He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart.

3 Whose tongue is not false, who does no evil to his friend, and does not take away the good name of his neighbour;

He doesn't slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor lifts up an insult against his neighbor.

4 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.

In his eyes a vile man is despised, but he honors those who fear the LORD. He keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change it.

5 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.

He doesn't lend out his money for interest, nor take a bribe against the innocent. The one who does these things will never be upended.
