Psalms 15

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

A psalm of David. Lord, who can be guest in your tent? Who may live on your holy mountain?

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

The person whose walk is blameless, whose conduct is right, whose words are true and sincere;

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

on whose tongue there sits no slander, who will not harm a friend,

4 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.

nor cruelly insult a neighbour, who regards with contempt those rejected by God; but honours those who obey the Lord, who keeps an oath, whatever the cost,

5 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.

whose money is lent without interest, and never takes a bribe to hurt the innocent. The person who does these things will always stand firm.
