A Psalm of David.
Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy {Hebrew: tent.}tabernacle?
Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness,
And speaketh truth in his heart;
{Or, He slandereth}He that slandereth not with his tongue,
Nor doeth evil to his friend,
Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor;
In {Or, his…he}whose eyes a reprobate is despised,
But {Or, his…he}who honoreth them that fear Jehovah;
{Or, He sweareth}He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;
{Or, He putteth}He that putteth not out his money to interest,
Nor taketh reward against the innocent.
He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
