Psalms 15
15
(A psalm by David.)
Who May Worship the Lord?
1Who may stay in God's temple
or live on the holy mountain
of the Lord?
2Only those who obey God
and do as they should.
They speak the truth
3and don't spread gossip;
they treat others fairly
and don't say cruel things.
4They hate worthless people,
but show respect for all
who worship the Lord.
And they keep their promises,
no matter what the cost.
5They lend their money
without charging interest,
and they don't take bribes
to hurt the innocent.
Those who do these things
will always stand firm.

Psalms 15
15
PSALM 15.
1The inscription of a title to David himself.
Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put trust in thee.
2I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.
3To the saints, who are in his land, he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.
4Their infirmities were multiplied: afterwards they made haste. I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.
5The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.
6The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: for my inheritance is goodly to me.
7I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.
8I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.
9Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt then give thy holy one to see corruption.
11Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to the end.
