Psalm 15

The Righteous Israelite

A psalm of David.

I
LORD, who may abide in your tent?
Who may dwell on your holy mountain?


II
Whoever walks without blame,
doing what is right,
speaking truth from the heart;
Who does not slander a neighbor,
does no harm to another,
never defames a friend;
Who disdains the wicked,
but honors those who fear the LORD;
Who keeps an oath despite the cost,
lends no money at interest,
accepts no bribe against the innocent.


III
Whoever acts like this
shall never be shaken.
