| King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 1 LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? | 1 LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill? |
| 2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. | 2 He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart |
| 3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. | 3 and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman, |
| 4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned ; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt , and changeth not. | 4 who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the LORD, who keeps his oath even when it hurts, |
| 5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved . | 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. |
