Introduction

This short psalm, which may have been used originally in a ceremony as worshipers entered the Temple, includes requirements for admission to the Temple. The psalm begins with a query (verse 1) followed by a response (verses 2-5). The psalm concludes with an affirmation to remain steadfast to do what God requires.

Today’s Scripture: Psalm 15:1, 2a

LORD, who may enter your Temple? Who may worship on Zion, your sacred hill? Those who obey God in everything and always do what is right.
