| 1 Lord, who may enter your Temple? Who may worship on Zion, your sacred hill? | 1 LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill? |
| 2 Those who obey God in everything and always do what is right, whose words are true and sincere, | 2 He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart |
| 3 and who do not slander others. They do no wrong to their friends nor spread rumors about their neighbors. | 3 and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman, |
| 4 They despise those whom God rejects, but honor those who obey the Lord. They always do what they promise, no matter how much it may cost. | 4 who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the LORD, who keeps his oath even when it hurts, |
| 5 They make loans without charging interest and cannot be bribed to testify against the innocent. Whoever does these things will always be secure. | 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. |
