Psalm 15

New International Version

Psalm 15

A psalm of David.

¹Lord, who may dwell^(A) in your sacred tent?^(B)
Who may live on your holy mountain?^(C)

²The one whose walk is blameless,^(D)
    who does what is righteous,
    who speaks the truth^(E) from their heart;
³whose tongue utters no slander,^(F)
    who does no wrong to a neighbor,
    and casts no slur on others;
⁴who 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;
⁵who 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)

Luke 19:1-10

New International Version

Zacchaeus the Tax Collector

19 Jesus entered Jericho^(A) and was passing through. ²A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. ³He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. ⁴So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig^(B) tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.^(C)

⁵When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” ⁶So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.

⁷All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”^(D)

⁸But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord,^(E) “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything,^(F) I will pay back four times the amount.”^(G)

⁹Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.^(H) ¹⁰For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”^(I)
