Psalms 15 WEB
Summary: A brief wisdom psalm structured as question and answer, Psalm 15 asks who may dwell on God's holy hill and sojourn in his tent (v. 1), then answers with an ethical checklist rather than a ritual one: walking blamelessly, speaking truth, not slandering, honoring oaths even to one's own hurt, and refusing bribes against the innocent (v. 2-5). It reflects the entrance-liturgy tradition in which worshipers were examined before approaching the sanctuary. The one who does these things, it concludes, "shall never be moved" (v. 5).
1Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?
2He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart;
3he who doesn’t slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man;
4in whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honors those who fear Yahweh; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn’t change;
5he 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.
