Psalm 15
[A psalm by David.] Who May Worship the Lord? ¹ Who may stay in God’s temple or live on the holy mountain of the Lord? ² Only those who obey God and do as they should. They speak the truth ³ and don’t spread gossip; they treat others fairly and don’t say cruel things. ⁴ They hate worthless people, but show respect for all who worship the Lord. And they keep their promises, no matter what the cost. ⁵ They 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.
