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 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?
²The one who lives with integrity,
    who does righteous deeds,
        and who speaks truth to himself.
³The one who does not slander with his tongue,
    who does no evil to his neighbor,
        and who does not destroy his friend’s reputation.
⁴The 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,
⁵who 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.
