Psalm 15

15 1 מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד יהוה מִי־יָגוּר בְּאָהֳלֶךָ מִי־יִשְׁכֹּן בְּהַר קָדְשֶׁךָ׃
2     הוֹלֵךְ תָּמִים וּפֹעֵל צֶדֶק וְדֹבֵר אֱמֶת בִּלְבָבֹו׃
3     לֹא־רָגַל עַל־לְשֹׁנֹו לֹא־עָשָׂה לְרֵעֵהוּ רָעָה וְחֶרְפָּה לֹא־נָשָׂא עַל־קְרֹבֹו׃
4     נִבְזֶה בְּעֵינָיו נִמְאָס וְאֶת־יִרְאֵי יהוה יְכַבֵּד נִשְׁבַּע לְהָרַע וְלֹא יָמִר׃
5     כַּסְפֹּו לֹא־נָתַן בְּנֶשֶׁךְ וְשֹׁחַד עַל־נָקִי לֹא לָקָח עֹשֵׂה־אֵלֶּה לֹא יִמּוֹט לְעוֹלָם׃
This is a good follow-up to yesterday.  This gives us humility – “who can dwell in your house, O Lord?”  Only those “whose walk is blameless” and do “what is righteous.”  How do we get there?  Only the blood of Christ allows our righteousness.  Only the love of God sent His son to die on a cross and rise from the dead – that we might dwell with Him forever.  That makes us humble and thankful and careful with how we judge the world.
