Psalm 15
1LORD, who may dwell in your tabernacle? *
who may abide upon your holy hill?
2Whoever leads a blameless life and does what is right, *
who speaks the truth from his heart.
3There is no guile upon his tongue;
he does no evil to his friend; *
he does not heap contempt upon his neighbor.
4In his sight the wicked is rejected, *
but he honors those who fear the LORD.
5He has sworn to do no wrong *
and does not take back his word.
6He does not give his money in hope of gain, *
nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.
7Whoever does these things *
shall never be overthrown.
A Collect for Peace
O God, the author of peace and lover of concord, to know you is eternal life and to serve you is perfect freedom: Defend us, your humble servants, in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in your defense, may not fear the power of any adversaries; through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
