Psalm 15
A psalm of David.
1Lord, who can live in your sacred tent?
Who can stay on your holy mountain?
2Anyone who lives without blame
and does what is right.
They speak the truth from their heart.
3They don’t tell lies about other people.
They don’t do wrong to their neighbors.
They don’t say anything bad about them.
4They hate evil people.
But they honor those who have respect for the Lord.
They keep their promises even when it hurts.
They do not change their mind.
5They lend their money to poor people without charging interest.
They don’t accept money to harm those who aren’t guilty.
Anyone who lives like that
will always be secure.
De gode kan nærme sig Gud
1En sang af David.
Herre, hvem kan få adgang til din helligdom?
Hvem har lov at opholde sig hos dig på det hellige bjerg?
2De, som har et godt ry
og altid handler ret.
De, som taler sandhed af et oprigtigt hjerte
3og nægter at bagtale andre.
De, som ikke foruretter deres næste
eller taler ondt om andre.
4De, som tager afstand fra de gudløse,
men ærer dem, der adlyder Herren.
De, som holder deres løfter,
selv om det koster dem dyrt.
5De, som ikke kræver urimelige renter,
når de låner penge ud.
De, som nægter at tage imod bestikkelse
for at afgive falsk vidneudsagn.
De, som lever ret,
har intet at frygte.
