Psalm 15

1 Lord, who may dwell in your sanctuary?
Who may live on your holy mountain?

2 Those whose walk is blameless,
who do what is righteous,
who speak the truth from their hearts;

3 who have no slander on their tongues,
who do their neighbors no wrong,
who cast no slur on others;

4 who despise those whose ways are vile
but honor whoever fears the Lord;
who keep their oaths even when it hurts;

5 who lend money to the poor without interest
and do not accept bribes against the innocent.
Whoever does these things
will never be shaken.

PSALMS 15

Who May Worship the [Lord]?

1 Who may stay in God's temple
or live on the holy mountain
of the [Lord]?

2 Only those who obey God
and do as they should.
They speak the truth

3 and don't spread gossip;
they treat others fairly
and don't say cruel things.

4 They hate worthless people,
but show respect for all
who worship the [Lord].
And they keep their promises,
no matter what the cost.

5 They lend their money
without charging interest,
and they don't take bribes
to hurt the innocent.
Those who do these things
will always stand firm.
