Psalms 15

1 A Melody of David. O Yahweh! Who shall be a guest in thy tent? Who shall abide in thy holy mountain?

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

2 He that walketh without blame, and doeth what is right, and speaketh truth with his heart;

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

3 Hath not carried slander on his tongue, hath not done his friend a wrong, nor, a reproach, taken up against his neighbour;

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

4 Despised in his sight, is the reprobate, but, them who revere Yahweh, he doth honour, he hath sworn to his neighbour, and will not change;

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.

5 His silver, hath he not put out on interest, nor, a bribe against the innocent, hath he taken. He that doeth these things, shall not be shaken unto times age-abiding.

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.
