The Bible in Basic English BBE
1 A psalm of David: ADONAI, who can rest in your tent? Who can live on your holy mountain?
1
<A Psalm. Of David.> Lord, who may have a resting-place in your tent, a living-place on your holy hill?
2 Those who live a blameless life, who behave uprightly, who speak truth from their hearts
2
He who goes on his way uprightly, doing righteousness, and saying what is true in his heart;
3 and keep their tongues from slander; who never do harm to others or seek to discredit neighbors;
3
Whose tongue is not false, who does no evil to his friend, and does not take away the good name of his neighbour;
4 who look with scorn on the vile, but honor those who fear ADONAI; who hold to an oath, no matter the cost;
4
Who gives honour to those who have the fear of the Lord, turning away from him who has not the Lord's approval. He who takes an oath against himself, and makes no change.
5 who refuse usury when they lend money and refuse a bribe to damage the innocent. Those who do these things never will be moved.
5
He who does not put out his money at interest, or for payment give false decisions against men who have done no wrong. He who does these things will never be moved.
