Psalms 15:1-2

Context
Psalm 15 1 

A psalm of David.

15:1 Lord, who may be a guest in your home? 2 

Who may live on your holy hill? 3 

15:2 Whoever lives a blameless life, 4 

does what is right,

and speaks honestly. 5 

1 sn Psalm 15. This psalm describes the character qualities that one must possess to be allowed access to the divine presence.

2 tn Heb “Who may live as a resident alien in your tent?”

3 sn In this context the Lord’s holy hill probably refers to Zion/Jerusalem. See Isa 66:20; Joel 2:1; 3:17; Zech 8:3; Pss 2:6; 43:3; 48:1; 87:1; Dan 9:16.

4 tn Heb “one who walks blamelessly.”

5 tn Heb “one who speaks truth in his heart”; or “one who speaks truth [that is] in his heart.” This apparently refers to formulating a truthful statement in one’s mind and then honestly revealing that statement in one’s speech.
