Psalm 15

The Righteous Israelite

A psalm of David.

I

Lord, who may abide in your tent?
    Who may dwell on your holy mountain?

II

Whoever walks without blame,
    doing what is right,
    speaking truth from the heart;
Who does not slander with his tongue,
    does no harm to a friend,
    never defames a neighbor;
Who disdains the wicked,
    but honors those who fear the Lord;
    Who keeps an oath despite the cost,
    lends no money at interest,
    accepts no bribe against the innocent.

III

Whoever acts like this
    shall never be shaken.
