Psalm 15

1 Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle?

The Character of Those Who May Dwell with the LordA Psalm of David. Who may dwell in Your holy hill?

2 He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness, And speaks the truth in his heart;3 He who does not backbite with his tongue, Nor does evil to his neighbor, Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend;4 In whose eyes a vile person is despised, But he honors those who fear the Lord; He who swears to his own hurt and does not change;5 He who does not put out his money at usury, Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.

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.
