Psalm 15 | 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.

Who Shall Dwell on Your Holy Hill?

1 A Psalm of David. O Lord, who shall sojourn in your tent? Who shall dwell on your holy hill?

2 He who walks blamelessly and does what is right and speaks truth in his heart;

3 who does not slander with his tongue and does no evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his friend;

4 in whose eyes a vile person is despised, but who honors those who fear the Lord; who swears to his own hurt and does not change;

5 who does not put out his money at interest and does not take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.
