Psalms 15 — United Kingdom of Israel
David — King of Israel, warrior poet, man after God's own heart. Set in Mount Zion, Jerusalem. David asks a fundamental question: who can truly approach the holy God and dwell in His presence? He then provides a clear answer through a list of character qualities that reflect God's own nature - integrity, truthfulness, and justice in relationships.
“Psalms 15:1” — 15:1
The earnest desire to live worthy of God's presence and friendship.
Read when: Read this when you want to examine your character and align your life with God's standards.
1Yahweh, 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 Yahweh; 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. A Poem by David.
