Psaltaren 15

1 En Psalm Davids. Herre, ho skall bo i dine hyddo? Ho skall blifva på ditt helga berg?

Yahweh, who are allowed to enter your Sacred Tent? Who are allowed to live on your sacred mountain?

2 Den som vandrar utan vank, och gör rätt, och talar sanningen af hjertat;

Only those who always do what is right and do not sin may do that. They always say what is true

3 Den med sine tungo icke förtalar, och icke gör sin nästa ondt, och sin nästa icke skämmer.

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 Den som de ogudaktiga för intet aktar; men dem som Herran frukta, ärar han, den som sinom nästa svär, och håller det;

[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 Den som icke gifver sina penningar på ocker, och tager icke skänker öfver den oskyldiga. Den det gör, han skall blifva vid sig evinnerliga.

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].
