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. YHWH, who sojourns in Your tent? Who dwells in Your holy hill?

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

He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And speaking truth in his heart.

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

He has not slandered by his tongue, He has not done evil to his friend; And he has not lifted up reproach Against his neighbor.

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,

A rejected one [is] despised in his eyes, And he honors those fearing YHWH. He has sworn to endure evil, and does not change;

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 has not given his silver in usury, And has not taken a bribe against the innocent; Whoever is doing these is not moved for all time!
