Psalm 15

1 O LORD, who may abide in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy mountain?

2 He who walks with integrity and practices righteousness, who speaks the truth from his heart,

3 who has no slander on his tongue, who does no harm to his neighbor, who casts no scorn on his friend,

4 who despises the vile but honors those who fear the LORD, who does not revise a costly oath,

5 who lends his money without interest and refuses a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.

'Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?' The answer is a portrait in eleven strokes: he that walketh uprightly and worketh righteousness; speaketh truth in his heart; slandereth not; honoreth them that fear Jehovah; sweareth to his own hurt and changeth not; putteth not out his money to interest nor taketh reward against the innocent. 'He that doeth these things shall never be moved.'
