What God requires

Psalm 15:1-5
Lord, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill?
He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman, who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the Lord, who keeps his oath even when it hurts, who lends his money without usury and does not accept a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things will never be shaken.
This psalm prepares the questioner may be a pilgrim come for one of the great festivals for worship at the Temple,
What does God require of the one who seeks his company? He expects right conduct, right speaking, right relationships with others and a right use of wealth.
Why?

How?
This is the way of life never be shaken. I will follow it.
