²⁷ Don’t withhold good from someone who deserves it,
    when it is in your power to do so.
²⁸ Don’t say to your neighbor, “Go and come back;
    I’ll give it to you tomorrow,” when you have it.
²⁹ Don’t plan to harm your neighbor
    who trusts and lives near you.
³⁰ Don’t accuse anyone without reason,
    when they haven’t harmed you.
³¹ Don’t envy violent people
    or choose any of their ways.
³² Devious people are detestable to the Lord,
    but the virtuous are his close friends.
³³ The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked,
    but he blesses the home of the righteous.
³⁴ He mocks mockers,
    but he shows favor to the humble.
³⁵ The wise gain respect,
    but fools receive shame.

15 Who can live in your tent, Lord?
    Who can dwell on your holy mountain?
² The person who
    lives free of blame,
    does what is right,
        and speaks the truth sincerely;
³     who does no damage with their talk,
    does no harm to a friend,
    doesn’t insult a neighbor;
⁴     someone who despises
        those who act wickedly,
        but who honors those
        who honor the Lord;
    someone who keeps their promise even when it hurts;
⁵     someone who doesn’t lend money with interest,
    who won’t accept a bribe against any innocent person.
Whoever does these things will never stumble.
