1A psalm of David.[#Is 56:7.]
Lord , who may abide in your tent?
Who may dwell on your holy mountain?
2Whoever walks without blame,[#Ps 119:1.]
doing what is right,
speaking truth from the heart;
3Who does not slander with his tongue,
does no harm to a friend,
never defames a neighbor;
4Who disdains the wicked,
but honors those who fear the Lord ;
Who keeps an oath despite the cost,
5lends no money at interest,[#: lending money in the Old Testament was often seen as assistance to the poor in their distress, not as an investment; making money off the poor by charging interest was thus forbidden (Ex 22:24; Lv 25:36–37; Dt 23:20).]
accepts no bribe against the innocent.
Whoever acts like this
shall never be shaken.
