Who Shall Dwell on Your Holy Hill?

A Psalm of David.

15 O Lord, (A)who shall sojourn in your (B)tent?
    Who shall dwell on your (C)holy hill?

He who (D)walks blamelessly and (E)does what is right
    and (F)speaks truth in his heart;
who (G)does not slander with his tongue
    and does no evil to his neighbor,
    nor (H)takes up a reproach against his friend;
(I)in whose eyes a vile person is despised,
    but who honors those who fear the Lord;
who (J)swears to his own hurt and does not change;
who (K)does not put out his money at interest
    and (L)does not take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things shall never be (M)moved.

You Will Not Abandon My Soul

A (N)Miktam[a] of David.

16 Preserve me, O God, for in you I (O)take refuge.
I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
    (P)I have no good apart from you.”

As for (Q)the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,
    in whom is all my delight.[b]

The sorrows of those who run after[c] another god shall multiply;
    their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out
    or (R)take their names on my lips.

The Lord is (S)my chosen portion and my (T)cup;
    you hold my (U)lot.
(V)The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
    indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

I bless the Lord who (W)gives me counsel;
    in (X)the night also my (Y)heart instructs me.[d]
(Z)I have (AA)set the Lord always before me;
    because he is at my (AB)right hand, I shall not be (AC)shaken.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my (AD)whole being[e] rejoices;
    my flesh also dwells secure.
10 For you will not abandon my soul to (AE)Sheol,
    (AF)or let your (AG)holy one see (AH)corruption.[f]

11 You make known to me (AI)the path of life;
    in your presence there is (AJ)fullness of joy;
    at your right hand are (AK)pleasures forevermore.
