Psalm 15

Commentary

The Psalmist begins by asking a fundamental question: "Lord, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill?" He then provides a list of characteristics that define a true worshipper: one who walks blamelessly, does what is right, speaks truthfully, does not slander others, does not mistreat neighbors, despises evil, honors those who fear the Lord, keeps promises even when it is difficult, and does not exploit others for personal gain.This Psalm implies that true worship involves living a life of honesty and integrity as well as avoiding evil habits like lying and slandering. And it concludes with a confident affirmation of the Lord's faithfulness and protection for those who walk in righteousness.This Psalm challenges us to consider the state of our hearts and reminds us that true worship is not about performing religious obligations, but about living our entire lives according to God's will. Ultimately, Psalm 15 teaches that a life of genuine worship is not just about what we do but who we are becoming in Christ.
