Psalms 15

Listen (KJV)

1Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

2He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, And speaketh truth in his heart;

3He that slandereth not with his tongue, Nor doeth evil to his friend, Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor;

4In whose eyes a reprobate is despised, But who honoreth them that fear Jehovah; He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;

5He that putteth not out his money to interest, Nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
