Psalm 15

Psalm 15

A psalm of David.

1 Who may worship in your sanctuary, LORD?
Who may enter your presence on your holy hill?2 Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right,
speaking the truth from sincere hearts.3 Those who refuse to gossip
or harm their neighbors
or speak evil of their friends.4 Those who despise flagrant sinners,
and honor the faithful followers of the LORD,
and keep their promises even when it hurts.5 Those who lend money without charging interest,
and who cannot be bribed to lie about the innocent.
Such people will stand firm forever.

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.
