Psalms15

Psalms 15 asks who is worthy to dwell in God's holy presence. It answers by describing a person of integrity who walks uprightly, speaks truth, avoids harming neighbors, and maintains moral and financial honesty. Such a one, the psalm concludes, will remain steadfast and secure.

The Question of Access to God

1
A Psalm of David. Jehovah, who doth sojourn in Thy tent? Who doth dwell in Thy holy hill?

The Character of the Dweller

2
He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And speaking truth in his heart.
3
He hath not slandered by his tongue, He hath not done to his friend evil; And reproach he hath not lifted up Against his neighbour.
4
Despised in his eyes is a rejected one, And those fearing Jehovah he doth honour. He hath sworn to suffer evil, and changeth not;
5
His silver he hath not given in usury, And a bribe against the innocent Hath not taken; Whoso is doing these is not moved to the age!
