A Psalm by David.

15 Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary?
    Who shall live on your holy hill?
He who walks blamelessly and does what is right,
    and speaks truth in his heart;
he who doesn’t slander with his tongue,
    nor does evil to his friend,
    nor casts slurs against his fellow man;
in whose eyes a vile man is despised,
    but who honors those who fear Yahweh;
    he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn’t change;
he who doesn’t lend out his money for usury,
    nor take a bribe against the innocent.

He who does these things shall never be shaken.

Psalm 15

A psalm of David.

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