« | Psalm 15 | » |
1 A Psalm of David. O Lord, who shall sojourn in Your tabernacle? And who shall dwell in Your holy mountain?
2 He that walks blameless, and works righteousness, who speaks truth in his heart.
3 Who has not spoken craftily with his tongue, neither has done evil to his neighbor, nor taken up a reproach against them that dwell nearest to him.
4 In his sight an evil worker is set at nought, but he honors them that fear the Lord. He swears to his neighbor, and disappoints [him] not.
5 He has not lent his money on usury, and has not received bribes against the innocent. He that does these things shall never be moved.
