Psalms 15
Psalms is the Bible's book of songs and prayers — 150 poems of lament, praise, protest and thanksgiving, gathered over centuries. Individual psalms are short, which makes them a natural place to start reading.
耶和华啊,谁能寄居你的帐幕? 谁能住在你的圣山?
yē hé huá a , shuí néng jì jū nǐ de zhàng mù ? shuí néng zhù zài nǐ de shèng shān ?
LORD, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?
就是行为正直、做事公义、 心里说实话的人。
jiù shì xíng wéi zhèng zhí 、 zuò shì gōng yì 、 xīn li shuō shí huà de rén 。
He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart;
他不以舌头谗谤人, 不恶待朋友, 也不随伙毁谤邻里。
tā bù yǐ shé tou chán bàng rén , bú è dài péng you , yě bù suí huǒ huǐ bàng lín lǐ 。
he who doesn’t slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man;
他眼中藐视匪类, 却尊重那敬畏耶和华的人。 他发了誓,虽然自己吃亏也不更改。
tā yǎn zhōng miǎo shì fěi lèi , què zūn zhòng nà jìng wèi yē hé huá de rén 。 tā fā le shì , suī rán zì jǐ chī kuī yě bú gēng gǎi 。
in whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honors those who fear the LORD; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn’t change;
他不放债取利, 不受贿赂以害无辜。 行这些事的人必永不动摇。
tā bú fàng zhài qǔ lì , bú shòu huì lù yǐ hài wú gū 。 xíng zhè xiē shì de rén bì yǒng bú dòng yáo 。
he who doesn’t lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.
