Psalm 15

The Character of Those Who May Dwell with the Lord

A Psalm of David.

1 Lord, awho may 1abide in Your tabernacle?

Who may dwell in Your holy hill?

2 He who walks uprightly,

And works righteousness,

And speaks the btruth in his heart;

3 He who cdoes not backbite with his tongue,

Nor does evil to his neighbor,

dNor does he 2take up a reproach against his friend;

4 eIn whose eyes a vile person is despised,

But he honors those who fear the Lord;

He who fswears to his own hurt and does not change;

5 He who does not put out his money at usury,

Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.

He who does these things gshall never be moved.

	About The New King James Version The New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study.
