15:1  A psalm of David. Lord, who may ·enter [dwell/abide/sojourn in] your Holy Tent [C the Tabernacle]? Who may live on your holy mountain [C Mount Zion]?
15:2  Only those who ·are innocent [walk innocently] and who do ·what is right [righteousness; 1:1; Job 1:1]. Such people speak the truth from their hearts
15:3  and do not ·tell lies about others [slander with their tongue]. They do no ·wrong [evil] to their neighbors and do not ·gossip [L raise a reproachful matter with their associates].
15:4  ·They do not respect hateful people [L The wicked are despised in their eyes] but honor those who ·honor [L fear] the Lord. They keep their promises to their neighbors, even when it hurts.
15:5  They do not charge interest on money they lend [Ex. 22:25–27; Lev. 25:35–36; Deut. 23:19] and do not take ·money [a bribe] to hurt innocent people [Ex. 23:8; Deut. 16:19]. Whoever does all these things will never be ·destroyed [L moved].
