1(16) A writing of David. Keep me, O Lord; for I have hoped in you.
1A Psalm by David. Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?
2I said to the Lord, You are my Lord; for you have no need of my goodness.
2He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart;
3On behalf of the saints that are in his land, he has magnified all his pleasure in them.
3he who doesn’t slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man;
4Their weaknesses have been multiplied; afterward they hasted. I will by no means assemble their bloody meetings, neither will I make mention of their names with my lips.
4in whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honors those who fear Yahweh; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn’t change;
5The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: you are he that restores my inheritance to me.
5he 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.
