PSALM 15
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm of David.
1Within thy tabernacle, Lord,
who shall abide with thee?
And in thy high and holy hill
who shall a dweller be?
2The man that walketh uprightly,
and worketh righteousness,
And as he thinketh in his heart,
so doth he truth express.
3Who doth not slander with his tongue,
nor to his friend doth hurt;
Nor yet against his neighbour doth
take up an ill report.
4In whose eyes vile men are despis'd;
but those that God do fear
He honoureth; and changeth not,
though to his hurt he swear.
5His coin puts not to usury,
nor take reward will he
Against the guiltless. Who doth
thus shall never moved be.

Psalms 15
15
Psalm 15
David wrote this song.
How may we worship God?
1 Lord, who may stay with you,
in your own home?
Who may live there,
on your holy hill? #15:1 Israelites worshipped God at his special home in Jerusalem, on the hill called Mount Zion. In David's time, God's home was in a tent. Later, King Solomon built God's Temple there.
2It is the person who does only things that are right.
It is the person who lives in a completely good way,
and who speaks only what he knows is true.
3He says nothing bad against other people.
He does nothing that will hurt his friends,
nor does he insult them.
4He does not respect wicked people,
but he does respect people who serve the Lord.
When he promises to do something,
he always does it.
5He lends his money to help other people,
and he does not ask for more money in return.
He does not accept a bribe,
to speak against people who have done nothing wrong.
People who live in this way will always be safe.
