  1. Psalm 15:4 Lit in his eyes the rejected is despised

A Davidic Psalm.

Welcomed into God’s Presence

15 Lord, who may stay in your tent?
    Who may dwell on your holy mountain?
The one who lives with integrity,
    who does righteous deeds,
        and who speaks truth to himself.
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.
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,
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.
