Psalm 15:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 Who does not slander with his tongue,
does no harm to a friend,
never defames a neighbor;
4 Who disdains the wicked,
but honors those who fear the Lord;
Who keeps an oath despite the cost,
5 lends no money at interest,[a]
accepts no bribe against the innocent.(A)
III
Whoever acts like this
shall never be shaken.
Footnotes
- 15:5 Lends 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).

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