A Psalm of David.

King James Version

1 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.¹

DIVISION OF PSALM 15

In this psalm,
I. By the question (v. 1) we are directed and excited to enquire for the way.
II. By the answer to that question, in the rest of the psalm, we are directed to walk in that way (v. 2-5).
III. By the assurance given in the close of the psalm of the safety and happiness of those who answer these characters we are encouraged to walk in that way (v. 5).²

THE IDEAL MAN

Perhaps next to Ps. 23, Ps. 15 is the best known and most generally appreciated of the psalms. It is called The Good Citizen and God's Gentleman, and is the most complete statement of the ideal man to be found in the Psalter. The Talmud says that the 613 commandments of the Pentateuch are all summarized in this psalm. In structure, the first verse and the second sentence of v.5 constitute a kind of envelopment, in which the virtues of the ideal man are enclosed in concrete detail.³
