Psalm 15:1-5

12 04 2020 Psalm 15 1 thru 5.jpg

Today we are reading Psalm 15.
As we read, these verses stood out to me:

Psalm 15:1-5 - Lord, who may reside in Your tent? Who may settle on Your holy hill? 2 One who walks with integrity, practices righteousness, And speaks truth in his heart. 3 He does not slander with his tongue, Nor do evil to his neighbor, Nor bring shame on his friend; 4 A despicable person is despised in his eyes, But he honors those who fear the Lord; But he honors those who fear the Lord; He takes an oath to his own detriment, and does not change; 5 He does not lend his money at interest, Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. One who does these things will never be shaken.
