Psalms 15

1Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

1 Lord, who may have a resting-place in your tent, a living-place on your holy hill?

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

2He who goes on his way uprightly, doing righteousness, and saying what is true in his heart;

3He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

3Whose tongue is not false, who does no evil to his friend, and does not take away the good name of his neighbour;

4In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

4Who gives honour to those who have the fear of the Lord, turning away from him who has not the Lord's approval. He who takes an oath against himself, and makes no change.

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

5He who does not put out his money at interest, or for payment give false decisions against men who have done no wrong. He who does these things will never be moved.
