Psalms 15

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

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

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

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

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

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

4 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.

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.

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

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.
