About this chapterWho may dwell in God's tent and live on his holy hill? The psalm answers with a portrait of integrity: walking blamelessly, doing what is right, speaking truth from the heart, not slandering a neighbor, honoring those who fear the Lord, keeping promises even when costly, lending without exploiting and refusing bribes against the innocent. Whoever lives this way will never be shaken. It is a short entrance liturgy for worship, insisting that closeness to God and honest daily conduct belong together. Christians also receive it as a portrait fulfilled in Christ.

1O LORD, who may abide in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy mountain? 2He who walks with integrity and practices righteousness, who speaks the truth from his heart, 3who has no slander on his tongue, who does no harm to his neighbor, who casts no scorn on his friend, 4who despises the vile but honors those who fear the LORD, who does not revise a costly oath, 5who lends his money without interest and refuses a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.
