Psalm 15:3-5

New American Standard Bible 1995

³He ^(A)does not slander ^[a]with his tongue,
Nor ^(B)does evil to his neighbor,
Nor ^(C)takes up a reproach against his friend;
⁴In ^[b]whose eyes a reprobate is despised,
But ^[c]who ^(D)honors those who fear the Lord;
He ^(E)swears to his own hurt and does not change;
⁵He ^(F)does not put out his money ^[d]at interest,
Nor ^(G)does he take a bribe against the innocent.
^(H)He who does these things will never be shaken.
