Psalms 15

1 Lord, who shall abide in your tabernacle? who shall dwell in your holy hill?

A Psalm of David. O Lord, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? and who shall dwell in thy holy mountain?

2 He that walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart.

He that walks blameless, and works righteousness, who speaks truth in his heart.

3 He that backbites not with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbour, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbour.

Who has not spoken craftily with is tongue, neither has done evil to his neighbour, nor taken up a reproach against them that dwelt nearest to him.

4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honors them that fear the LORD. He that swears to his own hurt, and changes not.

In his sight an evil-worker is set at nought, but he honours them that fear the Lord. He swears to his neighbour, and disappoints [him] not.

5 He that puts not out his money to interest, nor takes reward against the innocent. He that does these things shall never be moved.

He has not lent his money on usury, and has not received bribes against the innocent. He that does these things shall never be moved.
