Psalms 15

₁Who may stay in God's temple

or live on the holy mountain

of the LORD?

₂Only those who obey God

and do as they should.

They speak the truth

₃and don't spread gossip;

they treat others fairly

and don't say cruel things.

₄They hate worthless people,

but show respect for all

who worship the LORD.

And they keep their promises,

no matter what the cost.

₅They lend their money

without charging interest,

and they don't take bribes

to hurt the innocent.

Those who do these things

will always stand firm.
