Psalms 15 Comparison: Noyes Translation (1869) vs King James Version
Psalms 15
1LORD, who shall abide at thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell upon thy holy hill?
2He that walketh uprightly, and doeth righteousness, And speaketh the truth from his heart;
3He that slandereth not with his tongue, That doeth no injury to his neighbor, And uttereth no reproach against his neighbor;
4In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; But who honoreth them that fear the LORD; Who sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;
5He that lendeth not his money for interest, And taketh not a bribe against the innocent: He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

3He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
4In 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.
