Psalm 15

A Psalm of David

Oh, Lord in your tent, tell me who abides still?
And who shall remain there in your holy hill?

It’s he who walks upright, and works righteousness,
Who speaking the truth; in his heart he’ll confess.

His tongue will not slander, toward neighbor harm do;
Against the one near him reproach won’t pursue.

Whose eyes despise vile ones; the God fearing praise;
He swears to his own hurt, he won’t change his ways.

Who puts not his money to usury’s plan;
He takes not a bribe against innocent man.

So he who does these things shall never be moved;
If these he’s pursuing, he is God approved.
