In this wisdom poem, the psalmist contrasts the lifestyle of the godly with the actions of fools (Ps 14). The questions in this psalm invite readers to examine themselves and to look away from problems with the wicked. The question of who dwells in God’s presence leads into a description of godly character qualities (cp. 24:3–6; Isa 33:14–16).
1O LORD, who may abide in Your tent?Who may dwell on Your holy mountain?
2He who walks with integrityand practices righteousness,who speaks the truth from his heart,3who has no slander on his tongue,who does no harm to his neighbor,who casts no scorn on his friend,4who despises the vilebut honors those who fear the LORD,who does not revise a costly oath,5who lends his money without interestand refuses a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these thingswill never be shaken.
