Psalm 14

What kind of men shall dwell in the heavenly Zion.

Does this psalm differ from what you were expecting? Don't be confused. There are two systems for arranging the psalms: the Septuagint and the Masoretic. We use the Septuagint system here. In the Masoretic system, which is used in most modern Bible translations, this psalm is called Psalm 15, and the previous psalm is known as Psalm 14.

English (Douay-Rheims)

1 A psalm for David.

Lord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle? or who shall rest in thy holy hill?
2 He that walketh without blemish, and worketh justice:
3 He that speaketh truth in his heart, who hath not used deceit in his tongue: Nor hath done evil to his neighbour: nor taken up a reproach against his neighbours.
4 In his sight the malignant is brought to nothing: but he glorifieth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his neighbour, and deceiveth not;
5 He that hath not put out his money to usury, nor taken bribes against the innocent: He that doth these things, shall not be moved for ever.

Latin (Clementine Vulgate)

1 Psalmus David.

Domine, quis habitabit in tabernaculo tuo?
aut quis requiescet in monte sancto tuo?
2 Qui ingreditur sine macula,
et operatur justitiam;
3 qui loquitur veritatem in corde suo:
qui non egit dolum in lingua sua,
nec fecit proximo suo malum,
et opprobrium non accepit adversus proximos suos.
4 Ad nihilum deductus est in conspectu ejus malignus;
timentes autem Dominum glorificat.
Qui jurat proximo suo, et non decipit;
5 qui pecuniam suam non dedit ad usuram,
et munera super innocentem non accepit:
qui facit hæc non movebitur in æternum.
