Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent?
Who may live on your holy mountain?
Psalm 15:1
Psalm 15 begins with two great questions from the psalmist David to God: “Who shall dwell in your tabernacle? Who shall dwell in your holy mountain?”. The answer comes immediately in verse two:
The one whose walk is blameless,
who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from their heart;Psalm 15:2
With this we understand that the psalmist wants to teach us that we should be pure and clean in order to enter into the presence of God, because this way we can receive His holy anointing without problems, and we will receive His presence and it will run through our interior.
It is good that each day we ask God to help us lead a holy and pure life before Him, because if we are pure of heart, we will not lie, nor will have a grudge in our hearts, and this is because God is within us.
whose tongue utters no slander,
who does no wrong to a neighbor,
and casts no slur on others;Psalm 15:3
Today we see these practices in many people, whose thoughts are only evil continually, and this is something that does not please God. So it is good that we are wise in the Lord and think about turning to Him wholeheartedly.
Psalm 15 is one of those passages that confronts us with the reality of our spiritual condition. David is not simply asking a poetic question; he is inviting every believer to reflect deeply on the type of life that honors God. The “sacred tent” and the “holy mountain” represent intimacy with God, communion with His presence, and the privilege of dwelling near Him. These are blessings that are not obtained by accident, nor by external religious practices, but by a life aligned with the character of the Lord.
The description that follows in Psalm 15:2 shows that this intimacy is reserved for the one whose walk is upright. This means integrity—not perfection, but sincerity before God. A person with an upright walk seeks to live according to God’s will, even when no one is watching. They do what is right, not for applause, but because their heart has been transformed by the truth. This integrity is also reflected in speech, for a heart centered on God speaks truth and refrains from deceit. Our words reveal what lives inside us, and a pure heart produces pure speech.
The psalm continues with more characteristics of the person who walks with the Lord. Verse 3 reminds us of the importance of loving others. A believer who loves God will not slander, harm, or bring disgrace to his neighbor. God takes very seriously how we treat others, especially because every human being has been created in His image. The tongue is one of the most dangerous instruments when it is not surrendered to the Lord, but it becomes a fountain of blessing when it is submitted to the Holy Spirit.
In the world today, it is increasingly common to see hearts filled with resentment, envy, lies, and harshness. Many have normalized slander, criticism, and division, but these attitudes separate us from God’s presence. Psalm 15 calls us to examine ourselves and return to a life of purity and righteousness. Walking with God means renouncing everything that contaminates the soul and choosing instead the path of holiness.
The beauty of this psalm is that it not only confronts us but also encourages us. God is willing to help us live the kind of life described here. We are not left alone to strive for righteousness; His Spirit strengthens us daily. When our hearts belong to Him, He produces in us the desire and ability to please Him.
Therefore, let us seek the Lord with sincerity. Let us ask Him to cleanse our hearts, guard our tongues, and guide our steps. Those who walk in His ways will enjoy the blessing of His presence, and there is no greater reward than dwelling near the One who is holy, good, and faithful forever.

Those who will live in the holy mountain of God
========================
Who should live in the presence of God, in his Holy Mountain?
The psalmist David says:
“The one whose walk is blameless,
who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from their heart; Psalm 15:2
0Is there anyone, man or woman, that may gather all this, as Adam’s children that we are?
Really no, the teaching we have received from the Bible is that there is no man or woman who can walk in a blameless way. It is known that everyone is born in sin and is an enemy of God.
The apostle Paul speaks on the basis of the revelation of God to the prophets and writes:
“They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, no, not one.” (Romans 3:12).
History tells us about people who, fearful of God, try to achieve perfection to dominate their bodies by penance, days fasting, by prayers and by battering themselves to mortify the body, but they don’t achieve to walk in a blameless way (we could read something of that in reformer Martin Luther biography).
The reformer Luther, after trying his hardest to change his condition of sinner, did not find peace for bis soul. He read the Bible, the Devil tried to separate him from God, but the power of God lead him to truly know the Lord Jesus Christ and His work at Calvary for sinners; and he discovered that only those who are cleaned with the blood of Jesus, the beloved Son of God, may walk blameless, be righteous people and speak the truth from their hearts. God, the Father, sees us in such a way.
Our Father who is Heaven and may be everywhere, sees these people dressed in the justice and holiness of his Son Jesus, and he lets them live in His presence with Him in His Holy Mountain, in His glory.
By the grace of God we can appropriate for ourselves the work of Jesus Christ, our saviour,
“By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” (Romans 5:2).
May we be eternally grateful to the Holy Father who has loved us so much, by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
AMEN.
Amen.
AMEN
