Psalms 15
15
Living in the Shining Place # 15 The first line in Hebrew reads “Yahweh, who may abide [as a guest] in your tent [tabernacle]?” Perhaps David’s prophetic musicians sang this song of instruction as they laid the ark to rest in David’s tent. It is a song that reveals who will dwell in God’s holy presence and who will live with him in heaven’s glory. It actually is a description of Zion’s perfect Man, Christ Jesus, and all those who are transformed into his image (Rom. 8:29).
A poetic song by David
A Question Posed
1Yahweh, who dares to dwell with you?
Who presumes the privilege of being close to you,
living next to you in your shining place # 15:1 The Hebrew word for “sanctuary” is taken from a root word for “shining place.” This psalm gives us David’s equivalent to Jesus’ Sermon on the Hillside. If we will dwell in the Holy Place, there must first be a holy place in our spirits where God dwells. God’s guests must submit to the holiness that lives there. There is etiquette for God’s house revealed in this psalm. of glory?
The Answer Provided
2They are passionate and wholehearted,
always sincere and always speaking the truth—
for their hearts are trustworthy.
3They refuse to slander # 15:3 The Hebrew word for “slander,” ragal, means to spy on someone and look for evil to use against that person. or insult others;
they’ll never listen to gossip or rumors,
nor would they ever harm a friend with their words.
4They will despise evil and evil workers
while commending the faithful ones who follow after the truth.
They make firm commitments and follow through,
even at great cost.
5They never crush others with exploitation
and they would never be bought with a bribe
against the innocent.
Those who do these things will never be shaken;
they will stand firm forever.

PSALM 15.
1The inscription of a title to David himself.
Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put trust in thee.
2I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.
3To the saints, who are in his land, he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.
4Their infirmities were multiplied: afterwards they made haste. I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.
5The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.
6The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: for my inheritance is goodly to me.
7I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.
8I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.
9Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt then give thy holy one to see corruption.
11Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to the end.
