Psalm 15—Who can find their home on your holy mountain?

"They suffer love with great hearts and are glad of it."

Rendition of Psalm 15

Lord, who can journey with you?
Who can find their home 
On your holy mountain?
The one whose walk and work are blameless,
Whose rest sings the seventh sunrise,
Whose days bloom goodness,
And whose heart is kernel crushed,
Chaff blown, and light
As deep heaven’s snowflake bread.
Their tongues do no violence;
Nor do they hoard hate 
To cast out in wide arcs
Like seed on whomever is around.
They judge without blame.
They suffer love with great hearts 
And are glad of it.
They give themselves away
But cannot be bought for any price.
The one who does these things
Will not be shaken.
