Psalm 15
Lord, who can be trusted with power,
and who may act in your place?
Those wirth a passion for justice,
who speak the truth from their hearts;
who have ley go of selfish interests
and grown beyond their own lives;
who see the wretched as their family
and the poor as their flesh and blood.
They alone are impartial
and worthy of the people’s trust.
Their compassion lights up the whole earth,
and thei kindness endures forever.
(A Book of Psalms, translations by Stephen Mitchell)
