Psalm 15

 

Refrain:    Through the greatness of your mercy,

 

I will come into your house.

1    Lord, who may dwell in your tabernacle?  ♦

Who may rest upon your holy hill?

2    Whoever leads an uncorrupt life  ♦

and does the thing that is right;

3    Who speaks the truth from the heart  ♦

and bears no deceit on the tongue;

4    Who does no evil to a friend  ♦

and pours no scorn on a neighbour;

5    In whose sight the wicked are not esteemed,  ♦

but who honours those who fear the Lord.

6    Whoever has sworn to a neighbour  ♦

and never goes back on that word;

7    Who does not lend money in hope of gain,  ♦

nor takes a bribe against the innocent;

8    Whoever does these things  ♦

shall never fall.

 

Refrain:    Through the greatness of your mercy,

 

I will come into your house.

Lord, lead us to our heavenly home

by single steps of self-restraint

and deeds of righteousness;

through the grace of Jesus Christ our Lord.
