The Character of Those Who May Dwell with the Lord

A Psalm of David.

15 Lord, (A)who may [a]abide in Your tabernacle?
Who may dwell in Your holy hill?

He who walks uprightly,
And works righteousness,
And speaks the (B)truth in his heart;
He who (C)does not backbite with his tongue,
Nor does evil to his neighbor,
(D)Nor does he [b]take up a reproach against his friend;
(E)In whose eyes a vile person is despised,
But he honors those who fear the Lord;
He who (F)swears to his own hurt and does not change;
He who does not put out his money at usury,
Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.

He who does these things (G)shall never be moved.

15 ¶ Se yon sòm David. Seyè, ki moun ki ka rete lakay ou a? Ki moun ki ka viv sou mòn ki apa pou ou a?

Se moun ki fè volonte Bondye nan tout bagay, ki toujou fè sa ki byen. Se moun ki pale verite a jan l' ye nan kè li,

ki pa nan bay moun kout lang. Se moun ki p'ap fè zanmi l' yo anyen ki mal, ki p'ap mache fè tripotaj sou vwazinaj.

Li meprize tout moun Bondye vire do bay, men, li respekte tout moun ki gen krentif pou Seyè a. Li toujou kenbe pawòl li, menm si sa koute l' chè.

Li prete moun san mande enterè. Li p'ap pran lajan anba pou l' bay manti sou moun ki inonsan. Moun ki fè bagay sa yo p'ap janm tonbe!
