| 1 A Psalm of David. O LORD, who shall sojourn in thy tent? Who shall dwell on thy holy hill? | 1 LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill? |
| 2 He who walks blamelessly, and does what is right, and speaks truth from his heart; | 2 He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart |
| 3 who does not slander with his tongue, and does no evil to his friend, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor; | 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 reprobate is despised, but who honors those who fear the LORD; who swears to his own hurt and does not change; | 4 who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the LORD, who keeps his oath even when it hurts, |
| 5 who does not put out his money at interest, and does not take a bribe against the innocent. He who does 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. |
