³He that speaketh truth in his heart, who hath not used deceit in his tongue: Nor hath done evil to his neighbour: nor taken up a reproach against his neighbours.

⁴In his sight the malignant is brought to nothing: but he glorifieth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his neighbour, and deceiveth not;

⁵He that hath not put out his money to usury, nor taken bribes against the innocent: He that doth these things, shall not be moved for ever.

Psalm 15

¹The inscription of a title to David himself.

Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put my trust in thee.

²I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.

³To the saints, who are in his land, he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.

⁴Their infirmities were multiplied: afterwards they made haste. I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.

⁵The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.

⁶The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: for my inheritance is goodly to me.

⁷I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: moreover, my reins also have corrected me even till night.

⁸I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.

⁹Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover, my flesh also shall rest in hope.

¹⁰Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt thou give thy holy one to see corruption.

¹¹Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to the end.
