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. Who may enter your sanctuary, Lord? Who may come into your presence on your holy mountain?

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

Those who live without fault and do what is right, those who sincerely tell the truth.

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

They do not slander, do not treat their neighbors badly, do not gossip about people they know.

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

They reject people the Lord has rejected, but honor those who follow the Lord. They keep their promises even when it's hard to do. They don't change their minds.

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

They lend money without charging interest. They don't take bribes to testify against the innocent. Those who act like this will never ever fall.
