Psalms 15: The Character That Dwells with God
Tap a verse to highlight it

1 Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

2 He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks truth in his heart,

3 he who does no slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor,

4 in whose eyes a reprobate is despised, but who honors those who fear Jehovah, he that swears to his own hurt, and changes not,

5 he who puts not his money out to interest, nor takes a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.
