Lord, who may abide in Your tent?
Who may dwell on Your holy mountain?
Whoever walks without blame,
doing what is right,
speaking truth from the heart;
Who does not slander a neighbor,
Does no harm to another,
never defames a friend;
Who disdains the wicked,
but honors those who fear the Lord;
Who keeps an oath despite the cost,
lends no money at interest,
accepts no bribe against the innocent.
Whoever acts likes this shall never be shaken.
Psalm 15
God's rest and peace to your Mom. And God's hugs to support you through your bereavement.
