Psalms 15
A Psalm of David. LORD, who shall sojourn in Thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell
upon Thy holy mountain?
1. He that walketh
uprightly, 2. and worketh righteousness,
3. and speaketh truth in his heart; 4. That hath no slander
upon his tongue,
5. nor doeth evil to his fellow, 6. nor taketh up a reproach against
his neighbour;
7. In whose eyes a vile
person is despised, 8. but he honoureth them that fear the LORD;
9. he that sweareth
to his own hurt, 10. and changeth not;
11. He that putteth not
out his money on interest, 12. nor taketh a bribe against the innocent.
He that
doeth these things shall never be moved.
