Who May Dwell on Your Holy Mountain?

A Psalm of David.

15 O Yahweh, who may [a]sojourn (A)in Your tent?
Who may dwell on Your (B)holy mountain?
He who (C)walks blamelessly, and works righteousness,
And (D)speaks truth in his heart.
He (E)does not slander [b]with his tongue,
Nor (F)does evil to his neighbor,
Nor (G)takes up a reproach against his friend;
In [c]whose eyes a reprobate is despised,
But [d]who (H)honors those who fear Yahweh;
He (I)swears to his own hurt and does not change;
He (J)does not put out his money [e]at interest,
Nor (K)does he take a bribe against the innocent.
(L)He who does these things will never be shaken.

A Psalm by David.

15 Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary?
    Who shall live on your holy hill?
He who walks blamelessly and does what is right,
    and speaks truth in his heart;
he who doesn’t slander with his tongue,
    nor does evil to his friend,
    nor casts slurs against his fellow man;
in whose eyes a vile man is despised,
    but who honors those who fear Yahweh;
    he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn’t change;
he who doesn’t lend out his money for usury,
    nor take a bribe against the innocent.

He who does these things shall never be shaken.

Walking with Integrity

Psalm 15

A psalm of David.
Adonai, who may dwell in Your tent?
Who may live on Your holy mountain?
The one who walks with integrity,
who does what is right,
    and speaks truth in his heart,
who does not slander with his tongue,
    does not wrong his neighbor,
and does not disgrace his friend,
who despises a vile person in his eyes,
    but honors those who fear Adonai,
who keeps his oath even when it hurts,
    and does not change,
who lends his money without usury,
and takes no bribe against the innocent.
One who does these things will never be shaken.

Psalm 15

A psalm of David.

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

The one whose walk is blameless,(D)
    who does what is righteous,
    who speaks the truth(E) from their heart;
whose tongue utters no slander,(F)
    who does no wrong to a neighbor,
    and casts no slur on others;
who despises a vile person
    but honors(G) those who fear the Lord;
who keeps an oath(H) even when it hurts,
    and does not change their mind;
who lends money to the poor without interest;(I)
    who does not accept a bribe(J) against the innocent.

Whoever does these things
    will never be shaken.(K)
