Protection of
the home and family
A psalm of David.
Lord, who can live in your sacred tent?
Who can stay on your holy hill?
2 Anyone who lives without blame
and does what is right.
He speaks the truth from his heart.
3 He doesn’t tell lies about others.
He doesn’t do wrong to his neighbours.
He doesn’t say anything bad about them.
4 He hates sinful people.
He honours those who have respect for the Lord.
He keeps his promises
even when it hurts.
5 He lends his money without charging too much interest.
He doesn’t accept money to harm those who aren’t guilty.
Anyone who lives like that
will always be secure.
