Psalm 15 gives us an insight into what it means to be a 'righteous' man. If you need an explanation for the psalm then i suggest you read the sermon on the mount given by Jesus (5:3 - 7:27). there is a strong correlation between both passages, and it is even suggested that this Psalm was the reading from which Jesus preached his famous sermon.

There are many challenges posed to us in the Psalm. none more so than the challenge to be blameless.
Blameless in v2 is a metaphor for the sacrificial system they had in OT times. when a ram was brought to the priest, they'd check it all over for any blemishes, then if they found none, they'd open him up. they'd check again for abnormalities, then if it was perfect they'd bring it as a sacrifice.

what a metaphor for our lives! God wants the righteous at His table, basically meaning the blameless ones!
This is not condemnation. God saw the need for a blameless sacrifice, since ultimately we couldn't bring one, so he sent his son Jesus to take our place. Jesus, at the sermon of the mount, was telling us that we need to be a step above the rest. not that we're disconnected from people but that we stay blameless. from what we say to the words we don't say, inside and out we are blameless before God so that we can sit with Him at his table.
