Psalm 15 | New International Version

A psalm of David.

1 Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent? Who may live on your holy mountain? 2 The one whose way of life is blameless, who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from their heart; 3 whose tongue utters no slander, who does no wrong to a neighbour, and casts no slur on others; 4 who despises a vile person but honours those who fear the Lord; who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change their mind; 5 who lends money to the poor without interest; who does not accept a bribe against the innocent. Whoever does these things will never be shaken.

New International Reader’s Version

A psalm of David.

1 LORD, who can live in your sacred tent? Who can stay on your holy mountain? 2 Anyone who lives without blame and does what is right. They speak the truth from their heart. 3 They don’t tell lies about other people. They don’t do wrong to their neighbours. They don’t say anything bad about them. 4 They hate evil people. But they honour those who have respect for the LORD. They keep their promises even when it hurts. They do not change their mind. 5 They lend their money to poor people without charging interest. They don’t accept money to harm those who aren’t guilty. Anyone who lives like that will always be secure.
