# Psalms 15

*The righteousness of Zion's children. A Psalm of David.*

**1** Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill of Zion?
**2** He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
**3** He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
**4** In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the Lord; sweareth not falsely to hurt any man, and changeth not.
**5** He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
