A Description of the Godly

A psalm of David.

1 Lord, who can dwell in your tent?(A)
Who can live on your holy mountain?(B)

and acknowledges the truth in his heart(C)
3 who does not slander with his tongue,(D)
who does not harm his friend
or discredit his neighbor,(E)
4 who despises the one rejected by the Lord[a]
but honors those who fear the Lord,(F)
who keeps his word whatever the cost,(G)

or take a bribe against the innocent(I)
the one who does these things will never be shaken.(J)
