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
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm of David.
1Within thy tabernacle, Lord,
who shall abide with thee?
And in thy high and holy hill
who shall a dweller be?
2The man that walketh uprightly,
and worketh righteousness,
And as he thinketh in his heart,
so doth he truth express.
3Who doth not slander with his tongue,
nor to his friend doth hurt;
Nor yet against his neighbour doth
take up an ill report.
4In whose eyes vile men are despis'd;
but those that God do fear
He honoureth; and changeth not,
though to his hurt he swear.
5His coin puts not to usury,
nor take reward will he
Against the guiltless. Who doth
thus shall never moved be.
