Psalm 15 is the 15th psalm of the Book of Psalms.

According to the International Critical Commentary, "Ps[alm] 15 is a didactic poem, inquiring what sort of man is qualified to be a guest of Yahweh (v. 1); describing him in accordance with a decalogue of duties (v. 2-5b) and declaring such a man secure (v. 5c)."

Although the Psalm is captioned "A Psalm of David," and the Gemara also attributes this Psalm to David, Charles and Emilie Briggs considered this claim of authorship "unhistoric."
