Psalm 15 | King James Version

1 A Psalm of David. LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

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

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

4 In 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.

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.

New International Reader’s Version

A psalm of David.

1 LORD, who can live in your sacred tent? Who can stay on your holy mountain?

2 Anyone who lives without blame and does what is right. They speak the truth from their heart.

3 They don’t tell lies about other people. They don’t do wrong to their neighbours. They don’t say anything bad about them.

4 They 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.

5 They 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.
