Psalm 15
Expanded Bible
What the Lord Demands
A psalm of David.
15 Lord, who may ·enter [dwell/abide/sojourn in] your Holy Tent [C the Tabernacle]?
Who may live on your holy mountain [C Mount Zion]?
2 Only those who ·are innocent [walk innocently]
and who do ·what is right [righteousness; 1:1; Job 1:1].
Such people speak the truth from their hearts
3 and do not ·tell lies about others [slander with their tongue].
They do no ·wrong [evil] to their neighbors
and do not ·gossip [L raise a reproachful matter with their associates].
4 ·They do not respect hateful people [L The wicked are despised in their eyes]
but honor those who ·honor [L fear] the Lord.
They keep their promises to their neighbors,
even when it hurts.
5 They do not charge interest on money they lend [Ex. 22:25–27; Lev. 25:35–36; Deut. 23:19]
and do not take ·money [a bribe] to hurt innocent people [Ex. 23:8; Deut. 16:19].
Whoever does all these things will never be ·destroyed [L moved].
Psalm 15
International Standard Version
A Davidic Psalm.
Welcomed into God’s Presence
15 Lord, who may stay in your tent?
Who may dwell on your holy mountain?
2 The one who lives with integrity,
who does righteous deeds,
and who speaks truth to himself.
3 The one who does not slander with his tongue,
who does no evil to his neighbor,
and who does not destroy his friend’s reputation.
4 The one who despises those who are utterly wicked,
but who honors the one who fears the Lord,
who keeps his word even when it hurts and does not change,
5 who does not loan his money with interest,
and who does not take a bribe against those who are innocent.
The one who does these things will stand firm[a] forever.

15 Psaume de David. O Éternel! qui séjournera dans ta tente? Qui demeurera sur ta montagne sainte? -
2 Celui qui marche dans l'intégrité, qui pratique la justice Et qui dit la vérité selon son coeur.
3 Il ne calomnie point avec sa langue, Il ne fait point de mal à son semblable, Et il ne jette point l'opprobre sur son prochain.
4 Il regarde avec dédain celui qui est méprisable, Mais il honore ceux qui craignent l'Éternel; Il ne se rétracte point, s'il fait un serment à son préjudice.
5 Il n'exige point d'intérêt de son argent, Et il n'accepte point de don contre l'innocent. Celui qui se conduit ainsi ne chancelle jamais.
