Psalm 15 is the 15th psalm in the Book of Psalms, beginning in English in the King James Version: "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?"

In the slightly different numbering system used in the Greek Septuagint and Latin Vulgate translations of the Bible, this psalm is Psalm 14. The Latin version begins "Domine quis habitabit in tabernaculo tuo".[1]

The psalm is attributed to David. It is often called an 'entrance liturgy', in which a worshipper asks the conditions of entering the worship place and a priest answers.[2] The psalm forms a regular part of Jewish, Catholic, Anglican, Eastern Orthodox Church and Protestant liturgies. It has been set to music, including compositions by Heinrich Schütz.
