Psalm 15



            Eternal One,
            who sojourns with you?


            Who lives with you on your holy mountain?



            It is the one walking with you,
            whose heart is honest, who trusts

            your presence will redeem us.


            Walking with you, we will not utter slander.
            We will neither do wrong to a neighbour

            nor defame our friends.


            How can we despise a person

            if we are to honour and reverence you, the Holy One?


            We learn to honour our word even when it hurts;
            we remain steadfast,



            learning from you to be generous
            we would never sell our word to harm the innocent.



            Walking with you, we discover our resolve.
