Psalm 15

1 O Lord, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? and who shall dwell in thy holy mountain?

2 He that walks blameless, and works righteousness, who speaks truth in his heart.

3 Who has not spoken craftily with is tongue, neither has done evil to his neighbour, nor taken up a reproach against them that dwelt nearest to him.

4 In his sight an evil-worker is set at nought, but he honours them that fear the Lord. He swears to his neighbour, and disappoints him not.

5 He has not lent his money on usury, and has not received bribes against the innocent. He that does these things shall never be moved.
