Psalms 15

1A Psalm of David. Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tent? who shall dwell in the hill of thy holiness? 2He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth from his heart. 3[He that] slandereth not with his tongue, doeth not evil to his companion, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour; 4In whose eyes the depraved person is contemned, and who honoureth them that fear Jehovah; who, if he have sworn to his own hurt, changeth it not; 5[He that] putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these [things] shall never be moved.
