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 can be guest in your tent? Who may live on your holy mountain?

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

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

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

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

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.

nor cruelly insult a neighbor, who regards with contempt those rejected by God; but honors those who obey the Lord, who keeps an oath, whatever the cost,

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.

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.
