Psalms 15

(En salme af David.) HERRE, hvo kan gæste dit Telt, hvo kan bo på dit hellige Bjerg?

LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

Den, som vandrer fuldkomment og øver Ret, taler Sandhed af sit Hjerte;

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.

ikke bagtaler med sin Tunge, ikke volder sin Næste ondt og ej bringer Skam over Ven,

He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

som agter den forkastede ringe, men ærer dem, der frygter HERREN, ej bryder Ed, han svor til egen Skade,

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.

ej låner Penge ud mod Åger og ej tager Gave mod skyldfri. Hvo således gør, skal aldrig rokkes.

He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
