I
Lord, who may abide in your tent?#Your tent: the Temple could be referred to as “tent” (Ps 61:5; Is 33:20), a reference to the tent of the wilderness period and the tent of David (2 Sm 6:17; 7:2), predecessors of the Temple. Holy mountain: a venerable designation of the divine abode (Ps 2:6; 3:5; 43:3; 48:2, etc.).
Who may dwell on your holy mountain?#Your tent: the Temple could be referred to as “tent” (Ps 61:5; Is 33:20), a reference to the tent of the wilderness period and the tent of David (2 Sm 6:17; 7:2), predecessors of the Temple.

2Whoever walks without blame,#Ps 119:1.
doing what is right,
speaking truth from the heart;
3Who does not slander with his tongue,
does no harm to a friend,
never defames a neighbor;
4Who disdains the wicked,
but honors those who fear the Lord;
Who keeps an oath despite the cost,
5lends no money at interest,#Lends no money at interest: lending money in the Old Testament was often seen as assistance to the poor in their distress, not as an investment; making money off the poor by charging interest was thus forbidden (Ex 22:24; Lv 25:36–37; Dt 23:20).
accepts no bribe against the innocent.#Ex 22:24; 23:8.

Whoever acts like this
shall never be shaken.

Who Shall Dwell on Your Holy Hill?
A Psalm of David.
1O Lord, #For ver. 1-5, see Ps. 24:3-5; Isa. 33:14-16 who shall sojourn in your #Ps. 61:4 tent?
Who shall dwell on your #See Ps. 2:6holy hill?
2He who #Prov. 28:18 walks blamelessly and #Ps. 106:3; [Matt. 6:1] does what is right
and #Zech. 8:16; Eph. 4:25; [John 1:47; Col. 3:9]speaks truth in his heart;
3who #Lev. 19:16; [Ps. 34:13] does not slander with his tongue
and does no evil to his neighbor,
nor #Ex. 23:1takes up a reproach against his friend;
4 # [Esth. 3:2] in whose eyes a vile person is despised,
but who honors those who fear the Lord;
who #[Judg. 11:35]swears to his own hurt and does not change;
5who #Ex. 22:25; Lev. 25:36; Deut. 23:19; Ezek. 18:8; 22:12 does not put out his money at interest
and #Ex. 23:8; Deut. 16:19 does not take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things shall never be #See Ps. 10:6moved.
