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

1 A Psalm of David. O LORD, who may abide in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy mountain?

2 He who walks with integrity and practices righteousness, who speaks the truth from his heart,

3 who has no slander on his tongue, who does no harm to his neighbor, who casts no scorn on his friend,

4 who despises the vile but honors those who fear the LORD, who does not revise a costly oath,

5 who lends his money without interest and refuses a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.
