Who may dwell on your holy mountain

I

LORD, who may abide in your tent?
Who may dwell on your holy mountain?

II

Whoever walks without blame,
doing what is right,
speaking truth from the heart;

Who does not slander with his tongue,
does no harm to a friend,
never defames a neighbor;

Who disdains the wicked,
but honors those who fear the LORD;
Who keeps an oath despite the cost,

lends no money at interest,
accepts no bribe against the innocent.

III
Whoever acts like this
shall never be shaken.
