PSALM 15


 1 LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary?

       Who may live on your holy hill?

 2 He whose walk is blameless

       and who does what is righteous,

       who speaks the truth from his heart

 3 and has no slander on his tongue,

       who does his neighbor no wrong

       and casts no slur on his fellowman,

 4 who despises a vile man

       but honors those who fear the LORD,

       who keeps his oath

       even when it hurts,

 5 who lends his money without usury

       and does not accept a bribe against the innocent.

       He who does these things

       will never be shaken.
