Psalms 15 Comparison: Bible in Basic English vs New Heart English Bible

Psalms 15

¹Lord, who may have a resting-place in your tent, a living-place on your holy hill?

²He who goes on his way uprightly, doing righteousness, and saying what is true in his heart;

³Whose tongue is not false, who does no evil to his friend, and does not take away the good name of his neighbour;

⁴Who gives honour to those who have the fear of the Lord, turning away from him who has not the Lord's approval. He who takes an oath against himself, and makes no change.

⁵He who does not put out his money at interest, or for payment give false decisions against men who have done no wrong. He who does these things will never be moved.

Psalms 15

¹Lord, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?

²He who walks blamelessly does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart;

³He who doesn't slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man;

⁴In whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honors those who fear the Lord; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change;

⁵he who doesn't lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.
