Psalm 15
Lord, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill?
He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman, who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the Lord, who keeps his oath even when it hurts, who lends his money without usury and does not accept a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things will never be shaken.
A Thought
Want to abide with God? Follow these simple commands: Do what is right; Speak the truth; Do no wrong to your neighbor; Do not slander or attempt to damage anyone’s reputation; Despise the wicked and honor the godly; Keep your promises; When you lend money do not charge interest; And do not accept a bribe. Follow these commands and you will have a firm foundation on life.
Our Prayer
Father our desire is to honor you by obeying your commands while being a good neighbor. Forgive us for any spoken lies or not keeping our word that we have spoken. We ask that obedience to your word make us righteous to abide in you forever, in Jesus’ name, amen.
