Psalms 15


font
CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 The inscription of a title: of David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, because I have hoped in you.1 A psalm of David. Lord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle? or who shall rest in thy holy hill?
2 I have said to the Lord: “You are my God, so you have no need of my goodness.”2 He that walketh without blemish, and worketh justice:
3 As for the saints, who are in his land: he has made all my desires wonderful in them.3 He 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.
4 Their infirmities have been multiplied; after this, they acted more quickly. I will not gather for their convocations of blood, nor will I remember their names with my lips.4 In 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;
5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. It is you who will restore my inheritance to me.5 he 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.
6 The lots have fallen upon me with clarity. And, indeed, my inheritance has been very clear to me.
7 I will bless the Lord, who has bestowed understanding upon me. Moreover, my temperament has also corrected me, even through the night.
8 I have made provision for the Lord always in my sight. For he is at my right hand, so that I may not be disturbed.
9 Because of this, my heart has been joyful, and my tongue has exulted. Moreover, even my body will rest in hope.
10 For you will not abandon my soul to Hell, nor will you allow your holy one to see corruption.
11 You have made known to me the ways of life; you will fill me with joy by your countenance. At your right hand are delights, even to the end.
