Mezmurlar 14

¹Davut’un mezmuru. Ey Rab, senin konutunda kim geçici olarak kalacak? Ya da senin kutsal dağında kim çadır kurup yerleşecek?

²Kusursuzca yürüyen, doğruluğu işleyen ve kendi yüreğinde gerçeği konuşan kişidir.

³O ki diliyle hile yapmadı, yakınına kötülük etmedi ve en yakınındakilere karşı bir utancı kabul edip taşımadı.

⁴Kötülük yapan onun gözünde değersiz kılınmıştır, Rab’den korkanları ise onurlandırır; yakınına ant içtiğinde bunu asla bozmayandır.

⁵Parasını faizle vermedi ve suçsuzların aleyhine rüşvet kabul etmedi. Bunları yapan kişi, sonsuza dek sarsılmayacaktır.

¹Ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ. - ΚΥΡΙΕ, τίς παροικήσει ἐν τῷ σκηνώματί σου; ἢ τίς κατασκηνώσει ἐν ὄρει ἁγίῳ σου;

²πορευόμενος ἄμωμος καὶ ἐργαζόμενος δικαιοσύνην, λαλῶν ἀλήθειαν ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ,

³ὃς οὐκ ἐδόλωσεν ἐν γλώσσῃ αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ ἐποίησε τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ κακὸν καὶ ὀνειδισμὸν οὐκ ἔλαβεν ἐπὶ τοῖς ἔγγιστα αὐτοῦ.

⁴ἐξουδένωται ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ πονηρευόμενος, τοὺς δὲ φοβουμένους τὸν Κύριον δοξάζει· ὁ ὀμνύων τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἀθετῶν·

⁵τὸ ἀργύριον αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔδωκεν ἐπὶ τόκῳ καὶ δῶρα ἐπ᾿ ἀθῴοις οὐκ ἔλαβεν. ὁ ποιῶν ταῦτα, οὐ σαλευθήσεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.

¹[A Psalm of David.] O Lord, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? and who shall dwell in thy holy mountain?

²He that walks blameless, and works righteousness, who speaks truth in his heart.

³Who has not spoken craftily with his tongue, neither has done evil to his neighbour, nor taken up a reproach against them that dwelt nearest to him.

⁴In his sight an evil-worker is set at nought, but he honours them that fear the Lord. He swears to his neighbour, and disappoints [him] not.

⁵He has not lent his money on usury, and has not received bribes against the innocent. He that does these things shall never be moved.
