Psalm 15
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Psalm 15
Who Shall Abide in God’s Sanctuary?
A Psalm of David.
1 O Lord, who may abide in your tent?
Who may dwell on your holy hill?(A)
2 Those who walk blamelessly and do what is right
and speak the truth from their heart;(B)
3 who do not slander with their tongue
and do no evil to their friends
nor heap shame upon their neighbors;(C)
4 in whose eyes the wicked are despised
but who honor those who fear the Lord;
who stand by their oath even to their hurt;(D)
5 who do not lend money at interest
and do not take a bribe against the innocent.
Those who do these things shall never be moved.(E)

New Living Translation
Psalm 15
A psalm of David.
1 Who may worship in your sanctuary, Lord?
Who may enter your presence on your holy hill?
2 Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right,
speaking the truth from sincere hearts.
3 Those who refuse to gossip
or harm their neighbors
or speak evil of their friends.
4 Those who despise flagrant sinners,
and honor the faithful followers of the Lord,
and keep their promises even when it hurts.
5 Those who lend money without charging interest,
and who cannot be bribed to lie about the innocent.
Such people will stand firm forever.
