Chapter 15

The righteousness of those who dwell in Zion


A psalm of David

1

Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill of Zion?

2

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart;

3

He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbor, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor,

4

In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoreth them that fear the Lord, sweareth not falsely to hurt any man, and changeth not;

5

He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
