Psalms 15

1 Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tent? who shall dwell in the hill of thy holiness?

1The inscription of a title to David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put my trust in thee.

1A Psalm of David. Jehovah, who doth sojourn in Thy tent? Who doth dwell in Thy holy hill?

2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth from his heart.

2I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.

2He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And speaking truth in his heart.

3 [He that] slandereth not with his tongue, doeth not evil to his companion, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour;

3To the saints, who are in his land, he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.

3He hath not slandered by his tongue, He hath not done to his friend evil; And reproach he hath not lifted up Against his neighbour.

4 In whose eyes the depraved person is contemned, and who honoureth them that fear Jehovah; who, if he have sworn to his own hurt, changeth it not;

4Their infirmities were multiplied: afterwards they made haste. I will not gather together their meetings for bloodofferings: nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.

4Despised in his eyes <FI>is<Fi> a rejected one, And those fearing Jehovah he doth honour. He hath sworn to suffer evil, and changeth not;

5 [He that] putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these [things] shall never be moved.

5The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.

5His silver he hath not given in usury, And a bribe against the innocent Hath not taken; Whoso is doing these is not moved to the age!
