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
A psalm of David.
1 Lord, who may be a guest in your home?
Who may live on your holy hill?
2 Whoever lives a blameless life,
does what is right,
and speaks honestly.
3 He does not slander,
or do harm to others,
or insult his neighbor.
4 He despises a reprobate,
but honors the Lord’s loyal followers.
He makes firm commitments and does not renege on his promise.
5 He does not charge interest when he lends his money.
He does not take bribes to testify against the innocent.
The one who lives like this will never be upended.
