1 Y ahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?

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

2 H e who walks blamelessly does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart;

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

3 H e who doesn’t slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man;

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

4 I n 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;

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

5 h e 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.

He 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.
