Who Shall Dwell on Your Holy Hill?

Psalm 15

A Psalm of David.

1
O Lord, u who shall sojourn in your v tent?
Who shall dwell on your w holy hill?

2 He who x walks blamelessly and y does what is right
and z speaks truth in his heart;
 3 who a does not slander with his tongue
and does no evil to his neighbor,
nor b takes up a reproach against his friend;
 4 c in whose eyes a vile person is despised,
but who honors those who fear the Lord;
who d swears to his own hurt and does not change;
 5 who e does not put out his money at interest
and f does not take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things shall never be g moved.
