PSALM 15

. Those who are fit for communion with God may be known by
a conformity to His law, which is illustrated in various important
particulars.

**1. abide**—or, "sojourn"
(compare [Psalms 5:4](../../../kjv/psalms/5/4)), where it means
under God's protection here, as ([Psalms 23:6](../../../kjv/psalms/23/6);
[Psalms 27:4](../../../kjv/psalms/27/4); [Psalms 27:6](../../../kjv/psalms/27/6))
communion.
**tabernacle**—seat of the
ark ([2 Samuel 6:17](../../../kjv/2-samuel/6/17)), the symbol of
God's presence.
**holy hill**—(Compare [2 Samuel 6:17](../../../kjv/2-samuel/6/17)).

**2. walketh**—(Compare ).
**uprightly**—in a complete
manner, as to all parts of conduct (), not as to degree.
**worketh**—or, "does."
**righteousness**—what is
right.
**in his heart**—sincerely
([Proverbs 23:7](../../../kjv/proverbs/23/7)).

**3.** He neither slanders nor
spreads slander.

**4.** Love and hate are regulated
by a regard to God.
**sweareth . . . hurt**—or
what so results (compare [Leviticus 5:4](../../../kjv/leviticus/5/4)).

**5.** (Compare [Leviticus 25:37](../../../kjv/leviticus/25/37);
[Deuteronomy 23:19](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/23/19); [Deuteronomy 23:20](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/23/20)).
**usury** is derived from a
verb meaning "to bite." All gains made by the wrongful loss
of others are forbidden.
**taketh reward,** c.—The
innocent would not otherwise be condemned (compare [Exodus 23:8](../../../kjv/exodus/23/8)
[Deuteronomy 16:19](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/16/19)). Bribery of all sorts
is denounced.
**doeth these,** c.—Such
persons admitted to God's presence and favor shall never be moved
([Psalms 10:6](../../../kjv/psalms/10/6) [Psalms 13:5](../../../kjv/psalms/13/5)).
