Psalm 15
LORD, who may dwell in your sacred tent?
Who may live on your holy mountain?
The one whose walk is blameless,
who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from their heart;
whose tongue utters no slander,
who does no wrong to a neighbor and casts no slur on others;
who despises a vile person but honors those who fear the LORD;
who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change their mind;
who lends money to the poor without interest;
who does not accept a bribe against the innocent.
Whoever does these things will never be shaken.
When I was sitting with my mom in the hospital the other night, I noticed the nurse's tattoo on his forearm. It was a scroll with "Psalm 15" written on it. I asked him about the significance of this particular Psalm to him and he said it was his motto for life. I agreed that it was a pretty awesome motto and something we all should strive for. How much peace would we experience if this Psalm defined our lives?
