Psalm 15
New Century Version

What the Lord Demands

A psalm of David.

15 Lord, who may enter your Holy Tent?
    Who may live on your holy mountain?

2 Only those who are innocent
    and who do what is right.
Such people speak the truth from their hearts
3 and do not tell lies about others.
They do no wrong to their neighbors
    and do not gossip.
4 They do not respect hateful people
    but honor those who honor the Lord.
They keep their promises to their neighbors,
    even when it hurts.
5 They do not charge interest on money they lend
    and do not take money to hurt innocent people.

Whoever does all these things will never be destroyed.

Nor (K)does he take a bribe against the innocent.
(L)One who does these things will never be shaken.

A Psalm of David.

15 O Lord, who may lodge [as a guest] in Your tent?
Who may dwell [continually] on Your holy hill?

And speaks and holds truth in his heart.

He does not slander with his tongue,
Nor does evil to his neighbor,
Nor takes up a reproach against his friend;

But he honors those who fear the Lord [and obediently worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder].
He keeps his word even to his own disadvantage and does not change it [for his own benefit];

He does not put out his money at interest [to a fellow Israelite],
And does not take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things will never be shaken.(A)
