Cómo estar cerca de Dios
Canción de David.
1 SEÑOR, ¿quién puede vivir en tu templo?
¿Quién puede subir a tu monte santo[a]?
2 Sólo el que vive con honestidad, y hace lo justo,
pensando y diciendo la verdad;
3 el que no calumnie a nadie,
el que no le haga mal a sus semejantes,
ni insulte a sus vecinos;
4 sólo el que se aparte de los que Dios desprecia,
y el que respete al que teme al SEÑOR;
el que cumpla lo que promete,
aunque tenga que sacrificarse para hacerlo;
5 el que no cobre intereses por un préstamo,
y no se deje sobornar para causar daño a gente inocente.
Sólo el que lleve una vida así podrá estar siempre cerca de Dios.

Los que habitarán en el monte santo de Dios
Salmo de David.
15 Jehová, ¿quién habitará en tu tabernáculo?
¿Quién morará en tu monte santo?
2 El que anda en integridad y hace justicia,
Y habla verdad en su corazón.
3 El que no calumnia con su lengua,
Ni hace mal a su prójimo,
Ni admite reproche alguno contra su vecino.
4 Aquel a cuyos ojos el vil es menospreciado,
Pero honra a los que temen a Jehová.
El que aun jurando en daño suyo, no por eso cambia;
5 Quien su dinero no dio a usura,
Ni contra el inocente admitió cohecho.
El que hace estas cosas, no resbalará jamás.

Psalm 15[a]
A psalm of David.
15 Lord, who may be a guest in your home?[b]
Who may live on your holy hill?[c]
2 Whoever lives a blameless life,[d]
does what is right,
and speaks honestly.[e]
3 He[f] does not slander,[g]
or do harm to others,[h]
or insult his neighbor.[i]
4 He despises a reprobate,[j]
but honors the Lord’s loyal followers.[k]
He makes firm commitments and does not renege on his promise.[l]
5 He does not charge interest when he lends his money.[m]
He does not take bribes to testify against the innocent.[n]
The one who lives like this[o] will never be shaken.
Footnotes
- Psalm 15:1 sn Psalm 15. This psalm describes the character qualities that one must possess to be allowed access to the divine presence.
- Psalm 15:1 tn Heb “Who may live as a resident foreigner in your tent?”
- Psalm 15:1 sn In this context the Lord’s holy hill probably refers to Zion/Jerusalem. See Isa 66:20; Joel 2:1; 3:17; Zech 8:3; Pss 2:6; 43:3; 48:1; 87:1; Dan 9:16.
- Psalm 15:2 tn Heb “one who walks blamelessly.”
- Psalm 15:2 tn Heb “one who speaks truth in his heart”; or “one who speaks truth [that is] in his heart.” This apparently refers to formulating a truthful statement in one’s mind and then honestly revealing that statement in one’s speech.
- Psalm 15:3 sn Hebrew literature often assumes and reflects the male-oriented perspective of ancient Israelite society. The principle of the psalm is certainly applicable to all people, regardless of their gender or age.
- Psalm 15:3 tn Heb “he does not slander upon his tongue.” For another example of רָגַל (ragal, “slander”) see 2 Sam 19:28.
- Psalm 15:3 tn Or “his fellow.”
- Psalm 15:3 tn Heb “and he does not lift up an insult against one who is near to him.”
- Psalm 15:4 tn Heb “despised in his eyes [is] a rejected [one].” The Hebrew term נִמְאָס (nimʾas, “rejected [one]”) apparently refers here to one who has been rejected by God because of his godless behavior. It stands in contrast to “those who fear God” in the following line.
- Psalm 15:4 tn Heb “those who fear the Lord.” The one who fears the Lord respects his sovereignty and obeys his commandments. See Ps 128:1; Prov 14:2.
- Psalm 15:4 tn Heb “he takes an oath to do harm and does not change.” The phrase “to do harm” cannot mean “do harm to others,” for the preceding verse clearly characterizes this individual as one who does not harm others. In this context the phrase must refer to an oath to which a self-imprecation is attached. The godly individual takes his commitments to others so seriously he is willing to “swear to his own hurt.” For an example of such an oath, see Ruth 1:16-17.
- Psalm 15:5 sn He does not charge interest. Such an individual is truly generous, and not simply concerned with making a profit.
- Psalm 15:5 tn Heb “a bribe against the innocent he does not take.” For other texts condemning the practice of a judge or witness taking a bribe, see Exod 23:8; Deut 16:19; 27:25; 1 Sam 8:3; Ezek 22:12; Prov 17:23.
- Psalm 15:5 tn Heb “does these things.”
