Psalm 15 (14)
Lord, who shall dwell in your tent? May the Lord help us to follow his commandments.
1 O Lord, who will dwell in your tent
and reside on your holy mount?
2 Those who walk blamelessly
and do what is right,
who speak truth from their heart
3 and control their words,
who do no harm to their neighbors
and cast no discredit on their companions,
4 who look down on evildoers
but highly esteem God’s servants;
who at all cost stand by a pledged word,
5 who do not lend money at interest
and refuse a bribe against the innocent.
Do this, and you will soon be shaken.

Comments Psalms, Chapter 15
This psalm repeats in its own way the word of the prophet Hosea: “I prefer mercy to sacrifice.” To the question, who will dwell in your tent? he replies with a list of ten virtues of justice: service of God and justice are two facets of a same attitude.
