2 He who walks blamelessly does what is right, And speaks truth in his heart;
Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members one of another.
Don't lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,
Who is someone who desires life, And loves many days, that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking lies.
Shall it be said, O house of Jacob: "Is the Spirit of Yahweh angry? Are these his doings? Don't my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?"
he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
who, through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
But glory and honor and peace to every man who works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of him.
He who walks righteously, and speaks blamelessly; he who despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes his hands from taking a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from looking on evil:
For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers,{The word for "sorcerers" here also includes users of potions and drugs.} idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."
But when I saw that they didn't walk uprightly according to the truth of the Gospel, I said to Peter before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?
but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
These are the things that you shall do: speak every man the truth with his neighbor. Execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates, and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor, and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate," says Yahweh.

Commentary on Psalms 15 Matthew Henry Commentary
Psalm 15
The scope of this short but excellent psalm is to show us the way to heaven, and to convince us that, if we would be happy, we must be holy and honest. Christ, who is himself the way, and in whom we must walk as our way, has also shown us the same way that is here prescribed, Mt. 19:17. "If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.' In this psalm,
A psalm of David.
Psa 15:1-5
Here is,
In singing this psalm we must teach and admonish ourselves, and one another, to answer the characters here given of the citizen of Zion, that we may never be moved from God's tabernacle on earth, and may arrive, at last, at that holy hill where we shall be for ever out of the reach of temptation and danger.
