Psalm 15

We must know in our heart what we stand for and what is right in His eyes or we stand for the evil that permeates society. 

Christ showed us the way it is up to us to follow that path.

righteousness 

the quality of being morally right or justifiable.

The requirements are moral conditions that involve the conscience. Anyone wanting to enter God’s temple must not oppress or harm his neighbor. Anyone desiring to enter God’s tent must have a proper attitude toward others. He should despise vile people and honor those who fear Yahweh. Faithlife Bible.

The righteous hate what God hates. The point is not so much the emotion of hatred as the deliberate rejection of wicked ways. The psalm asks the question, Who is righteous enough to approach God? We who are in Christ learn to come boldly into the presence of the Father because we come on the authority of His Son (Heb. 4:16). Jesus makes us feel at home in the presence of the Father. NKJ Bible.

Psalm 15

The Character of Those Who May Dwell with the Lord

A Psalm of David.

¹ Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle?

Who may dwell in Your holy hill?

² He who walks uprightly,

And works righteousness,

And speaks the truth in his heart;

³ He who does not backbite with his tongue,

Nor does evil to his neighbor,

Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend;

⁴ In whose eyes a vile person is despised,

But he honors those who fear the Lord;

He who swears to his own hurt and does not change;

⁵ He who does not put out his money at usury,

    Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.

He who does these things shall never be moved.

Exodus 23:1 (NKJV)

23 “You shall not circulate a false report. Do not put your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

Leviticus 5:4 (NKJV)

⁴ ‘Or if a person swears, speaking thoughtlessly with his lips to do evil or to do good, whatever it is that a man may pronounce by an oath, and he is unaware of it—when he realizes it, then he shall be guilty in any of these matters.

Leviticus 19:18 (NKJV)

¹⁸ You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.
