(A David psalm.)
Who gets to stay at your house, Yahweh?
Who gets to make Zion their home?
The one at whom no one can point a blaming finger,
Who is fair and good,
Whose words are honest, not false and flattering,
Who never speaks badly of anyone,
Who is a helpful neighbor,
Who always supports friends,
Who hates deeds which should be hated,
Who loves those who love Yahweh,
Who keeps every promise no matter the cost,
Who is consistent and trustworthy,
Who shares generously and freely,
Who can’t be bought.
If this describes you,
You’re living a lasting, worthwhile life.
