He says nothing bad against other people.
He does nothing that will hurt his friends,
    nor does he insult them.
He does not respect wicked people,
    but he does respect people who serve the Lord.
When he promises to do something,
    he always does it.
He lends his money to help other people,
    and he does not ask for more money in return.
He does not accept a bribe,
    to speak against people who have done nothing wrong.
People who live in this way will always be safe.

who lends money to the poor without interest;(D)
    who does not accept a bribe(E) against the innocent.

    will never be shaken.(F)
