Psalm 15

1 Lord, who shall abide in your tabernacle? who shall dwell in your holy hill?
2 He that walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart.
3 He that backbites not with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbour, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbour.
4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honors them that fear the LORD. He that swears to his own hurt, and changes not.
5 He that puts not out his money to interest, nor takes reward against the innocent. He that does these things shall never be moved.
