What the Lord Demands

A psalm of David.

15 Lord, who may enter your Holy Tent?
    Who may live on your holy mountain?

Only those who are innocent
    and who do what is right.
Such people speak the truth from their hearts
and do not tell lies about others.
They do no wrong to their neighbors
    and do not gossip.
They do not respect hateful people
    but honor those who honor the Lord.
They keep their promises to their neighbors,
    even when it hurts.
They do not charge interest on money they lend
    and do not take money to hurt innocent people.

Whoever does all these things will never be destroyed.

Psalm 15

A psalm of David.

Lord, who may dwell(A) in your sacred tent?(B)
    Who may live on your holy mountain?(C)

The one whose walk is blameless,(D)
    who does what is righteous,
    who speaks the truth(E) from their heart;
whose tongue utters no slander,(F)
    who does no wrong to a neighbor,
    and casts no slur on others;
who despises a vile person
    but honors(G) those who fear the Lord;
who keeps an oath(H) even when it hurts,
    and does not change their mind;
who lends money to the poor without interest;(I)
    who does not accept a bribe(J) against the innocent.

Whoever does these things
    will never be shaken.(K)
