Psalm 15

What the Lord Demands

1 Lord, who may enter your Holy Tent? Who may live on your holy mountain?

2 Only those who are innocent and who do what is right.
Such people speak the truth from their hearts

3 and do not tell lies about others.
They do no wrong to their neighbors and do not gossip.

4 They do not respect hateful people but honor those who honor the Lord.
They keep their promises to their neighbors, even when it hurts.

5 They do not charge interest on money they lend and do not take money to hurt innocent people.
Whoever does all these things will never be destroyed.

Psalm 15

1 Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, And speaketh truth in his heart;

3 He that slandereth not with his tongue, Nor doeth evil to his friend, Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor;

4 In whose eyes a reprobate is despised, But who honoreth them that fear Jehovah; He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;

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.
