¹ Kuulkaa Herran sana, te israelilaiset, sillä Herralla on oikeudenkäynti maan asukasten kanssa; sillä ei ole uskollisuutta, ei laupeutta eikä Jumalan tuntemusta maassa.

² Kuulkaa tämä, te vanhimmat, ja ottakaa korviinne, kaikki maan asukkaat. Onko tällaista tapahtunut teidän päivinänne taikka teidän isienne päivinä?

¹ Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?

² He who walks blamelessly does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart;

³ He who doesn't slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man;

⁴ In whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honors those who fear Yahweh; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change;

⁵ he who doesn't lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken. A Poem by David.
