He who (A)does not backbite with his tongue,
Nor does evil to his neighbor,
(B)Nor does he [a]take up a reproach against his friend;
(C)In whose eyes a vile person is despised,
But he honors those who fear the Lord;
He who (D)swears to his own hurt and does not change;
He who does not put out his money at usury,
Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.

He who does these things (E)shall never be moved.

  1. Psalm 15:3 receive

whose tongue utters no slander,(A)
    who does no wrong to a neighbor,
    and casts no slur on others;
who despises a vile person
    but honors(B) those who fear the Lord;
who keeps an oath(C) even when it hurts,
    and does not change their mind;
who lends money to the poor without interest;(D)
    who does not accept a bribe(E) against the innocent.

Whoever does these things
    will never be shaken.(F)
