Psalm 15 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

Psalm 15

Who Shall Abide in God’s Sanctuary?

A Psalm of David.

1 O Lord, who may abide in your tent?
Who may dwell on your holy hill?(A)

2 Those who walk blamelessly and do what is right
and speak the truth from their heart;(B)
3 who do not slander with their tongue
and do no evil to their friends
nor heap shame upon their neighbors;(C)
4 in whose eyes the wicked are despised
but who honor those who fear the Lord;
who stand by their oath even to their hurt;(D)
5 who do not lend money at interest
and do not take a bribe against the innocent.

Those who do these things shall never be moved.(E)
