Psalm 15

Agpeya / Septuagint numbering: Psalm 14

  1. A Psalm by David.
  2. 1LORD, who shall dwell in your sanctuary?
    Who shall live on your holy hill?
  3. 2He who walks blamelessly and does what is right,
    and speaks truth in his heart;
  4. 3he who doesn’t slander with his tongue,
    nor does evil to his friend,
    nor casts slurs against his fellow man;
  5. 4in whose eyes a vile man is despised,
    but who honours those who fear the LORD;
    he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn’t change;
  6. 5he who doesn’t lend out his money for usury,
    nor take a bribe against the innocent.
    He who does these things shall never be shaken.
