1 Who can live in your tent, LORD? Who can dwell on your holy mountain?
1
God, who gets invited to dinner at your place? How do we get on your guest list?
2 The person who lives free of blame, does what is right, and speaks the truth sincerely;
2
"Walk straight, act right, tell the truth.
3 who does no damage with their talk, does no harm to a friend, doesn't insult a neighbor;
3
"Don't hurt your friend, don't blame your neighbor;
4 someone who despises those who act wickedly, but who honors those who honor the LORD; someone who keeps their promise even when it hurts;
4
despise the despicable. "Keep your word even when it costs you,
5 someone who doesn't lend money with interest, who won't accept a bribe against any innocent person. Whoever does these things will never stumble.
5
make an honest living, never take a bribe. "You'll never get blacklisted if you live like this."
