1 O Lord, who may live in Your tent? Who may live on Your holy hill?

A Psalm of David. Jehovah, who doth sojourn in Thy tent? Who doth dwell in Thy holy hill?

2 H e who walks without blame and does what is right and good, and speaks the truth in his heart.

He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And speaking truth in his heart.

3 H e does not hurt others with his tongue, or do wrong to his neighbor, or bring shame to his friend.

He hath not slandered by his tongue, He hath not done to his friend evil; And reproach he hath not lifted up Against his neighbour.

4 H e looks down upon a sinful person, but honors those who fear the Lord. He keeps his promises even if it may hurt him.

Despised in his eyes a rejected one, And those fearing Jehovah he doth honour. He hath sworn to suffer evil, and changeth not;

5 H e gives money to be used without being paid for its use. And he does not take money to hurt those who are not guilty. He who does these things will never be shaken.

His silver he hath not given in usury, And a bribe against the innocent Hath not taken; Whoso is doing these is not moved to the age!
