1A Psalm of David. LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?2He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.3He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against 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.5He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
Psalm 15
New International Reader’s Version
A psalm of David.
1LORD, who can live in your sacred tent? Who can stay on your holy mountain?2Anyone who lives without blame and does what is right. They speak the truth from their heart.3They don’t tell lies about other people. They don’t do wrong to their neighbours. They don’t say anything bad about them.4They hate evil people. But they honour those who have respect for the LORD. They keep their promises even when it hurts. They do not change their mind.5They lend their money to poor people without charging interest. They don’t accept money to harm those who aren’t guilty. Anyone who lives like that will always be secure.
