Psalms 15

1 A Psalm by David. LORD, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?

A psalm of David. Lord, who can be guest in your tent? Who may live on your holy mountain?

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

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

3 he who doesn’t slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man;

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

4 in whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honours those who fear the LORD; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn’t change;

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 who doesn’t lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.

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.
