Psalms 15

How may we live to please God?

1Lord, who may stay with you, in your own home? Who may live there, on your holy hill?

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.
