Psalms 15

What God Requires

1LORD, who may enter your Temple?

Who may worship on Zion, your sacred hill?

Notes for verse 11 entry

Text notes

2Those who obey God in everything

and always do what is right,

whose words are true and sincere,

3and who do not slander others.

They do no wrong to their friends

nor spread rumours about their neighbours.

4They despise those whom God rejects,

but honour those who obey the LORD.

They always do what they promise,

no matter how much it may cost.

5They make loans without charging interest

and cannot be bribed to testify against the innocent.

Whoever does these things will always be secure.
