It takes less times in the Message to read psalm 15 than in the NIV; under a minute. I think the way Peterson wrote out David’s from this psalm are right on the mark. David lists the characteristics that God is looking for in the people who will following him. The list is short, but it is neither simple nor easy. Learning to allow God to develop these characteristics in our lives is critical to being useful to him. Though David failed in many of these at least once in his life, I believe that he held these ideals out before him as his “targets”. Knowing that God wanted people to live with the attributes is a good start to fulfilling them.
