PSALM 14
Response:
The just will live in the presence of the Lord.
Verse 1:
Lord, who shall dwell on your holy mountain?
He who walks without fault;
he who acts with justice
and speaks truth from his heart.
Verse 2:
He who does no wrong to his brother,
who casts no slur on his neighbour,
who holds the godless in disdain,
but honours those who fear the Lord.
Verse 3:
He who keeps his pledge, come what may;
who takes no interest on a loan
and accepts no bribes against the innocent.
Such a man will stand firm for ever.
