🔊 LISTEN TO CHAPTER

The Book of Psalms is canonical in Judaism (Ketuvim) and Christianity (Old Testament), with its authority confirmed by ancient manuscripts (Qumran), the New Testament, and councils (Hippo, Carthage). The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, however, has a broader canon that includes Psalm 151 as an integral part of the Psalter, accepted as Holy Scripture also by Orthodox, Syriac, and Armenian traditions, demonstrating the historical diversity of biblical canons.

Psalms

Chapter 15 — A Psalm of David.

1

LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

2

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.

3

He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

4

In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

5

He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
