[ Read](/kjv/psalms/15)[ Commentary](/study/psalms/15)[ Interlinear](/interlinear/psalms/15) Audio

 1 LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?*

 2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.

 3 *He that* backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.*

 4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. *He that* sweareth to *his own* hurt, and changeth not.

 5 *He that* putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these *things* shall never be moved.
 
[Psalms 14](/study/psalms/14) [Psalms 16](/study/psalms/16)

## Commentary

 To verse 1
 
(1) **Abide . . . dwell.**—Properly, as in margin, *sojourn*like a passing guest, and *dwell*like a resident. But here the two terms are apparently used as synonyms. It was the natural form in which to put the question at Jerusalem, where God had His abode in the Temple, and we may paraphrase it thus: “What constitutes a true and genuine citizen of the kingdom of God?*”*The form of Wordsworth’s poem, “Who is the happy warrior? who is he,” &c, was possibly suggested by the Psalm, and it may be read with advantage by the side of it.
