15:1 (大衛的詩。)耶和華啊,誰能寄居你的帳幕?誰能住在你的聖山?
15:2 就是行為正直、做事公義、心裡說實話的人。
15:3 他不以舌頭讒謗人,不惡待朋友,也不隨夥毀謗鄰里。
15:4 他眼中藐視匪類,卻尊重那敬畏耶和華的人。他發了誓,雖然自己吃虧也不更改。
15:5 他不放債取利,不受賄賂以害無辜。行這些事的人必永不動搖。

A psalm of David.
1 Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent?
Who may live on your holy mountain?
Who may live on your holy mountain?
2 The
one whose walk is blameless,
who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from their heart;
3 whose tongue utters no slander,
who does no wrong to a neighbor,
and casts no slur on others;
4 who despises a vile person
but honors those who fear the Lord;
who keeps an oath even when it hurts,
and does not change their mind;
5 who lends money to the poor without interest;
who does not accept a bribe against the innocent.
who does what is righteous,

3 whose tongue utters no slander,

and casts no slur on others;
4 who despises a vile person
but honors those who fear the Lord;
who keeps an oath even when it hurts,
and does not change their mind;
5 who lends money to the poor without interest;
who does not accept a bribe against the innocent.
Whoever
does these things
will never be shaken.
will never be shaken.

大衛提出兩個問題,表面上是問上帝,其實是要讀者思考:「耶和華啊,誰能寄居你的帳幕?誰能住在你的聖山?」
用通俗的話來說的話來說,應該可以改成:「上帝啊!怎樣的人可以敬拜祢﹖怎樣的人可以上天堂呢﹖
答案是:「行為正直、做事公義、心裡說實話的人。」
然而這樣的答案或許不容易明白,所以詩人進一步說明:「他不以舌頭讒謗人,不惡待朋友,也不隨夥毀謗鄰里。他眼中藐視匪類,卻尊重那敬畏耶和華的人。他發了誓,雖然自己吃虧也不更改。他不放債取利,不受賄賂以害無辜。行這些事的人必永不動搖。」
透過這樣的宣講,就可以明白上帝所喜悅的人,應該要有怎樣的表現。也因為這樣,我們要求上帝給我們力量,可倚靠上帝的恩典,行出上帝所喜悅的好行為,讓人感受到上帝的大能和良善,好將榮耀歸給上帝!
