Psalm 15:2

A Description Of The Godly

¹ O Lord, who may lodge [as a guest] in Your tent?
Who may dwell [continually] on Your holy hill?
² 
He who walks with integrity and strength of character, and works righteousness,
And speaks and holds truth in his heart.
³
He does not slander with his tongue,
Nor does evil to his neighbor,
Nor takes up a reproach against his friend;
