Psalms 15

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

A Psalm of David. LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

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

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.

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

[He that] backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

4 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,

In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. [He that] sweareth to [his own] hurt, and changeth not.

5 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.

[He that] putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these [things] shall never be moved.
