< Psalmorum 15 >

1 Psalmus David. Domine quis habitabit in tabernaculo tuo? aut quis requiescet in monte sancto tuo?
Yahweh, who are allowed to enter your Sacred Tent? Who are allowed to live on your sacred mountain?
2 Qui ingreditur sine macula, et operatur iustitiam:
Only those who always do what is right and do not sin may do that. They always say what is true
3 Qui loquitur veritatem in corde suo, qui non egit dolum in lingua sua: Nec fecit proximo suo malum, et opprobrium non accepit adversus proximos suos.
and they do not slander others. They do not do to others things that are wrong, and they do not say bad things about others.
4 Ad nihilum deductus est in conspectu eius malignus: timentes autem Dominum glorificat: Qui iurat proximo suo, et non decipit,
[Godly people] hate those whom God has rejected, but they respect those who revere Yahweh. They do what they have promised to do even if it causes them trouble to do that.
5 qui pecuniam suam non dedit ad usuram, et munera super innocentem non accepit: Qui facit hæc, non movebitur in æternum.
They lend money to others without charging interest, and they never accept bribes in order to lie about people who have not done what is wrong. Those who do those things will never stop trusting God [even if disastrous things happen to them].
