A Psalm of David.
O Lord, who shall sojourn in your tent? Who shall dwell on your holy hill?
He who walks blamelessly and does what is right and speaks truth in his heart;
who does not slander with his tongue and does no evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his friend;
in whose eyes a vile person is despised, but who honors those who fear the Lord; who swears to his own hurt and does not change;
who does not put out his money at interest and does not take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.
Are My Words Helpful or Hurtful ?
He who walks blamelessly and does what is right and speaks truth in his heart;
who does not slander with his tongue and does no evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his friend;
If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless.
With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God.
From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and salt water?
Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a salt pond yield fresh water.
Are My Hero’s Godly or Godless?
in whose eyes a vile person is despised, but who honors those who fear the Lord; who swears to his own hurt and does not change;
Do I Keep My Commitments?
in whose eyes a vile person is despised, but who honors those who fear the Lord; who swears to his own hurt and does not change;
Do I Help the Helpless?
who does not put out his money at interest and does not take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.
“And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, nor shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the Lord your God.”
1. God, who gets invited to dinner at your place? How do we get on your guest list?
2. “Walk straight, act right, tell the truth.”
3-4 “Don’t hurt your friend, don’t blame your neighbor; despise the despicable.
5. “Keep your word even when it costs you, make an honest living, never take a bribe. “You’ll never get blacklisted if you live like this.” (Psalm 15:1-5) The Message
