Psalm 15

A Description of the Godly

A psalm of David.

Lord, who can dwell in your tent?(A)
Who can live on your holy mountain?(B)

The one who lives blamelessly, practices righteousness,
and acknowledges the truth in his heart(C)
who does not slander with his tongue,(D)
who does not harm his friend
or discredit his neighbor,(E)
who despises the one rejected by the Lord[a]
but honors those who fear the Lord,(F)
who keeps his word whatever the cost,(G)
who does not lend his silver at interest(H)
or take a bribe against the innocent(I)
the one who does these things will never be shaken.(J)

  1. 15:4 Lit in his eyes the rejected is despised

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!
