Read Psalm 15
Lord, who may enter your Temple?
Who may worship on Zion, your sacred hill?
2 Those who obey God in everything
and always do what is right,
whose words are true and sincere,
3 and who do not slander others.
They do no wrong to their friends
nor spread rumors about their neighbors.
4 They despise those whom God rejects,
but honor those who obey the Lord.
They always do what they promise,
no matter how much it may cost.
5 They make loans without charging interest
and cannot be bribed to testify against the innocent.
Whoever does these things will always be secure.
Footnotes:
Psalm 15:1 HEBREW TITLE: A psalm by David.
Psalm 15:1 See 2.6.

Think
The answer to the question: "Who may enter your Temple?" is very simple; someone who does what is right. Verses 2-5 paint a picture of a very normal good and kind person.
Pray
Take away my ego and set me free to do what is right in your eyes.
