About Psalms: book summary and outline →

1Who may worship in your sanctuary, Lord? Who may enter your presence on your holy hill?
2Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right, speaking the truth from sincere hearts.
3Those who refuse to gossip or harm their neighbors or speak evil of their friends.
4Those who despise flagrant sinners, and honor the faithful followers of the Lord, and keep their promises even when it hurts.
5Those who lend money without charging interest, and who cannot be bribed to lie about the innocent. Such people will stand firm forever.
