Psalm 15

Who Shall Dwell on Your Holy Hill?

1 LORD, a who may 1 abide in Your tabernacle?
Who may dwell in Your holy hill?

2 He who walks uprightly,
And works righteousness,
And speaks the b truth in his heart;
3 He who c does not backbite with his tongue,
Nor does evil to his neighbor,
d Nor does he 2 take up a reproach against his friend;
4 e In whose eyes a vile person is despised,
But he honors those who fear the LORD;
He who f swears to his own hurt and does not change;
5 He who does not put out his money at usury,
Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things g shall never be moved.
