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.
