LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
4 In 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.
5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

1A Psalme of Dauid. Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

2Hee that walketh vprightly, and worketh righteousnesse, and speaketh the trueth in his heart.

3Hee that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doth euill to his neighbour, nor taketh vp a reproach against his neighbour.

4In whose eies a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that feare the Lord: he that sweareth to his owne hurt, and changeth not.

5He that putteth not out his money to vsury, nor taketh reward against the innocent: he that doth these things, shall neuer be moued.

1 A psalm of David. LORD, who may abide in your tent? Who may dwell on your holy mountain?

2 Whoever walks without blame,doing what is right, speaking truth from the heart;

3 Who does not slander with his tongue, does no harm to a friend, never defames a neighbor;

4 Who disdains the wicked,but honors those who fear the LORD; Who keeps an oath despite the cost,

5 lends no money at interest,accepts no bribe against the innocent. Whoever acts like this shall never be shaken.

TRUE CITIZENS OF ZIM Psalm 14 Universal Sinfulness. In Romans 3:10-12 it was quoted; Infidels are called fools and there will be a Day of Judgment.

v 1. David asks the question, “Who can abide in God’s presence?” Honest, Just, Truthful, Rigthteous.

Thomas Jefferson stated "That this Psalm was the picture of a true gentlement."

v 2-5. The general answer is, the righteous. He follows with some characteristics of the righteous. v2, They walk uprightly and speak the truth. They don’t slander, harm or discredit others. He shuns evil but honor those who fear God. He keeps his word no matter what. He doesn’t extort (Jews couldn’t charge interest to fellow Jews) or take bribes. These have some comparison to the 10 commandments, which do not save a person, but show where they fail. Salvation is only by faith and your faith will show your fruit.
