Psalms 15

1 LORD, who can dwell in your tent? Who can live on your holy mountain?
2 The one who lives blamelessly, practices righteousness, and acknowledges the truth in his heart —
3 who does not slander with his tongue, who does not harm his friend or discredit his neighbor,
4 who despises the one rejected by the LORD but honors those who fear the LORD, who keeps his word whatever the cost,
5 who does not lend his silver at interest or take a bribe against the innocent — the one who does these things will never be shaken.
