The Book of Psalms

King James Version :: World English Bible Catholic

- Chapter 15 -

Who may dwell on your holy mountain?

1
Lord , who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?(a)
2
He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
3
He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.(b)
4
In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the Lord . He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
5
He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

Who may dwell on your holy mountain?

1
LORD, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?
2
He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart;
3
he who doesn’t slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man;
4
in whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honors those who fear the LORD; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn’t change;
5
he who doesn’t lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.
