New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 Lord, who can live in your sacred tent? Who can stay on your holy hill?
|
1 LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill?
|
|
2 Anyone who lives without blame and does what is right. He speaks the truth from his heart.
|
2 He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart
|
|
3 He doesn't tell lies about others. He doesn't do wrong to his neighbors. He doesn't say anything bad about them.
|
3 and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman,
|
|
4 He hates sinful people. He honors those who have respect for the Lord. He keeps his promises even when it hurts.
|
4 who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the LORD, who keeps his oath even when it hurts,
|
|
5 He lends his money without charging too much interest. He doesn't accept money to harm those who aren't guilty. Anyone who lives like that 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.
