1 Lord, who can dwell in your tent? 15:1 Ps 61:4

2 The one who lives blamelessly, practices righteousness,
and acknowledges the truth in his heart 15:1–2 Ps 24:3–5; Is 33:14–16 —
3 who does not slander with his tongue, 15:3 Pr 10:18
who does not harm his friend
or discredit his neighbor, 15:3 Pr 3:29
4 who despises the one rejected by the Lord 15:4 Lit in his eyes the rejected is despised
but honors those who fear the Lord, 15:4 Gn 14:17–24; Ps 119:63
who keeps his word whatever the cost, 15:4 Lv 5:4; Dt 23:21–23
5 who does not lend his silver at interest 15:5 Lv 25:35–38; Dt 33:19
or take a bribe against the innocent 15:5 Ex 23:18; Dt 16:19 —
the one who does these things will never be shaken. 15:5 Ps 16:8; 112:6
