Psalm 15
A Description of the Godly
A Davidic psalm.
1 Lord, who can dwell in Your tent?
Who can live on Your holy mountain?
2 The one who lives honestly, practices righteousness,
and acknowledges the truth in his heart—
3 who does not slander with his tongue,
who does not harm his friend
or discredit his neighbor,
4 who despises the one rejected by the Lord[a]
but honors those who fear the Lord,
who keeps his word whatever the cost,
5 who does not lend his money at interest
or take a bribe against the innocent—
the one who does these things will never be moved.
