Psalm 15

English Standard Version

Who Shall Dwell on Your Holy Hill?

A Psalm of David.

15 O Lord, ^(A)who shall sojourn in your ^(B)tent?
Who shall dwell on your ^(C)holy hill?

²He who ^(D)walks blamelessly and ^(E)does what is right
    and ^(F)speaks truth in his heart;
³who ^(G)does not slander with his tongue
    and does no evil to his neighbor,
    nor ^(H)takes up a reproach against his friend;
⁴^(I)in whose eyes a vile person is despised,
    but who honors those who fear the Lord;
who ^(J)swears to his own hurt and does not change;
⁵who ^(K)does not put out his money at interest
    and ^(L)does not take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things shall never be ^(M)moved.

Psalm 26

English Standard Version

I Will Bless the Lord

Of David.

26 ^(A)Vindicate me, O Lord,
    for I have ^(B)walked in my integrity,
    and I have ^(C)trusted in the Lord without wavering.
²^(D)Prove me, O Lord, and try me;
    test my heart and ^(E)my mind.^[a]
³For your ^(F)steadfast love is before my eyes,
    and I ^(G)walk in your ^(H)faithfulness.

⁴I do not ^(I)sit with men of ^(J)falsehood,
nor do I consort with hypocrites.
⁵I ^(K)hate the assembly of evildoers,
and I will not sit with the wicked.

⁶I ^(L)wash my hands in innocence
and go around your altar, O Lord,
⁷proclaiming thanksgiving aloud,
and telling all your ^(M)wondrous deeds.

⁸O Lord, I ^(N)love the habitation of your house
    and the place where your glory dwells.
⁹^(O)Do not sweep my soul away with sinners,
    nor my life with bloodthirsty men,
¹⁰in whose hands are evil devices,
    and whose right hands are full of ^(P)bribes.

¹¹But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity;
redeem me, and be gracious to me.
¹²My foot stands on ^(Q)level ground;
in ^(R)the great assembly I will bless the Lord.
