Psalm 15

1 LORD, who may reside in Your tent? Who may settle on Your holy hill?
2 One who walks with integrity, practices righteousness, And speaks truth in his heart.
3 He does not slander with his tongue, Nor do evil to his neighbor, Nor bring shame on his friend;
4 A despicable person is despised in his eyes, But he honors those who fear the LORD; He takes an oath to his own detriment, and does not change;
5 He does not lend his money at interest, Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. One who does these things will never be shaken.
